Chapter 57
एते हयामुच्य भगवन् क्षुत्पिपासाभयं कुत: । विषान्निश्वापदेभ्यश्व भयं जातु न विद्यते,“भगवन्! इन्हें धारण कर लेनेपर भूख-प्यासका भय कहाँ रह जाता है? विष, अग्नि और हिंसक जन्तुओंसे भी कभी भय नहीं होता है
ete hayāmucya bhagavan kṣutpipāsābhayaṃ kutaḥ | viṣāgniśvāpadebhyaś ca bhayaṃ jātu na vidyate ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «¡Oh Bienaventurado! Una vez que se llevan estos, ¿cómo podría quedar temor al hambre y a la sed? Tampoco surge jamás temor del veneno, del fuego o de las fieras salvajes».
