अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
श्रान्तावपि हि कृच्छेण रथमेनं समूहतु: । न चैतयोविंकारं वै ददर्श भूगुनन्दन:,'ये इतने थके होनेपर भी कष्ट उठाकर इस रथको खींचे जा रहे हैं। भूगुनन्दन च्यवन अभीतक इनमें कोई विकार नहीं देख सके हैं"
śrāntāv api hi kṛcchreṇa ratham enaṃ samūhatuḥ | na caitayor vikāraṃ vai dadarśa bhṛgunandanaḥ ||
