Adhyaya 22 — Kuvalayashva’s Death through Daitya-Deceit and Madalasa’s Self-Immolation
ताः शोच्या या वियोगिन्यो न शोच्या या मृताः सह ।
भर्त्रा वियोगस्त्वनया नानुभूतः कृतज्ञया ॥
tāḥ śocyā yā viyoginyo na śocyā yā mṛtāḥ saha |
bhartrā viyogas tv anayā nānubhūtaḥ kṛtajñayā ||
जो स्त्रियाँ वियोग में जीवित रहती हैं, वे करुणा की पात्र हैं; जो पति के साथ ही मर गईं, वे करुणा की पात्र नहीं। क्योंकि यह कृतज्ञ स्त्री पति-वियोग को प्राप्त नहीं हुई।
