हृष्टं चङ्क्रममाणं सा नकुलं शुभदर्शनम् ॥ क्रोधात्तं नकुलं चापि विनिहन्तुं प्रचक्रमे ॥
hṛṣṭaṃ caṅkramamāṇaṃ sā nakulaṃ śubhadarśanam || krodhāt taṃ nakulaṃ cāpi vinihantuṃ pracakrame ||
वो नेवला खुश था, इधर-उधर घूम रहा था, अच्छा लग रहा था देखने में। पर राजकुमारी गुस्से में आ गई और उस नेवले को मारने लगी।
