Babhruvāhana’s Lament and Appeal for Expiation (प्रायश्चित्त-याचना)

ननु त्वमार्यधर्मज्ञा ननु चासि पतिव्रता । यत्त्वस्कृतेड्यं पतित: पतिस्ते निहतो रणे,“बहिन! तुम तो आर्यधर्मको जाननेवाली और पतिव्रता हो। तथापि तुम्हारी ही करतूतसे ये तुम्हारे पति इस समय रणभूमिमें मरे पड़े हैं

nanu tvam āryadharmajñā nanu cāsi pativratā | yat tvat-kṛte īḍyaṁ patitaḥ patiḥ te nihato raṇe |

બહેન! તું તો આર્યધર્મ જાણનારી અને પતિવ્રતા છે. છતાં તારા જ કૃત્યથી પૂજનીય તારો પતિ રણભૂમિમાં હણાઈને પડી રહ્યો છે.
