Dhvaja-Dhāraṇa Mahātmyam: Sumati–Satyamatī, Humility, and Deliverance by Hari’s Messengers
दैवात्सोऽपि गतो लोकं यमस्यात्र विहाय माम् । कान्तारे विजने चैका भ्रमन्ती दुःखपीडिता ॥ ४७ ॥
daivātso'pi gato lokaṃ yamasyātra vihāya mām | kāntāre vijane caikā bhramantī duḥkhapīḍitā || 47 ||
Karena takdir, ia pun pergi ke alam Yama, meninggalkanku di sini. Sendirian aku mengembara di rimba sunyi, tersiksa oleh duka.
