Shloka 29
इस समय मैं जो कुछ करना चाहता हूँ, उसीको पूर्ण करनेके उद्देश्यसे उतावला हो रहा हूँ। इतनी उतावलीमें रहते हुए मुझे नींद कहाँ और सुख कहाँ? ।।
kṛpa uvāca | idānīṃ yad ahaṃ kartum icchāmi tad eva paripūrṇīkartuṃ kṛte utkaṇṭhito bhavāmi | etādṛśyāṃ utkaṇṭhāyāṃ mama nidrā kutaḥ sukhaṃ ca kutaḥ || na sa jātaḥ pumān loke kaścin na sa bhaviṣyati | yo me vyāvartayed etāṃ vadhe teṣāṃ kṛtāṃ matim ||
クリパは言った。「今この時、私は成そうとすることを成し遂げるため、切迫した急ぎに駆り立てられている。これほど落ち着かぬ焦燥の中で、どこに眠りがあり、どこに安らぎがあろうか。この世に、私が固く結んだ決意――彼らを討つという決意――を翻させ得る男は、生まれたこともなく、また生まれもしない。」
