कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
Devanagari script
यदा मान॑ं लभते माननार्ह- स्तदा स वै जीवति जीवलोके । यदावमानं लभते महान्तं तदा जीवन्मृत इत्युच्यते सः,इस जीवजगत्में माननीय पुरुष जबतक सम्मान पाता है, तभीतक वह वास्तवमें जीवित है। जब वह महान् अपमान पाने लगता है, तब वह जीते-जी मरा हुआ कहलाता है
Transliteration
yadā mānaṁ labhate mānanārhas tadā sa vai jīvati jīvaloke | yadāvamānaṁ labhate mahāntaṁ tadā jīvanmṛta ity ucyate saḥ ||
Translation
Vāyu dit : «Tant qu’un homme digne d’honneur reçoit l’honneur, il vit véritablement dans ce monde des vivants. Mais lorsqu’il en vient à subir une grande humiliation, on dit de lui qu’il est “mort tout en vivant”.»
