याहं त्वया विनाद्येह पत्या पुत्रेण चैव ह । मर्तव्ये सति जीवामि हतस्वस्तिरकिंचना

Transliteration

yāhaṃ tvayā vinādyeha patyā putreṇa caiva ha | martavye sati jīvāmi hatasvastir akiñcanā ||

Translation

આજે અહીં તારા વિના—પતિ અને પુત્ર વિના—જ્યારે મને તો મરી જવું જોઈએ હતું, ત્યારે પણ હું જીવતી રહી છું; મારું સર્વ મંગળ નષ્ટ થયું છે અને હું સંપૂર્ણ નિર્ધન બની ગઈ છું.
