Transliteration
rudantas te 'tha śarmiṣṭhām abhyayur bālakās tataḥ | śrutvā tu teṣāṃ bālānāṃ sa-brīḍa iva pārthivaḥ ||
Translation
Then the boys, weeping, went up to Śarmiṣṭhā. Hearing the words of those children, the king (Yayāti) became as though overcome with shame—his conscience stirred by what their tears implied and by the impropriety that had led to their distress.
