Shloka 4.61.10
सूर्यानुगमनवृत्तान्तः — The Account of Following the Sun
तीव्रस्स्वेदश्च खेदश्च भयं चासीत्तदाऽऽवयोः।समाविशति मोहश्च तमो मूर्छा च दारुणा।।।।
bhagavan vraṇayuktatvāl lajjayā vyākulendriyaḥ | pariśrānto na śaknomi vacanaṃ paribhāṣitum ||
O venerable one, because my body is wounded and my senses are unsettled by shame, and because I am utterly exhausted, I am unable to speak in reply.
'Much sweat, pain and fear generated in us while we went on and up. This led to terrific confusion and stupor.
Dharma here is truthful self-disclosure with humility: Sampāti does not pretend strength or composure, but honestly admits his wounded condition and shame.
Sampāti, injured and weakened, addresses a revered listener and explains why he cannot properly respond or speak at length.
Humility and honesty—acknowledging limitation rather than boasting or deceiving.
