Naciketas’ Journey to Yama’s Abode and the Eulogy of Truthfulness
पुत्र उवाच ॥ न विषादस्त्वया कार्यो द्रक्ष्यसे मामिहागतम् ॥ दृष्ट्वा च तमहं देवं सर्वलोकनमस्कृतम् ॥
putra uvāca || na viṣādas tvayā kāryo drakṣyase mām ihāgatam || dṛṣṭvā ca tam ahaṃ devaṃ sarvalokanamaskṛtam ||
बेटा ने कहा। पापा, दुखी मत हो। मैं वापस यहाँ आऊँगा, तुम मुझे देखोगे। मैं उस भगवान को देख कर आऊँगा जिसको सब दुनिया नमस्ते करती है।
Putra (the son; unnamed in excerpt)
