Kuvalāśva’s Lineage and Uttaṅka’s Petition concerning Dhundhu (धुन्धु-प्रसङ्गः)

Devanagari script

दृष्टवैव च तां तस्याश्न तीरे सहैव तया देव्याडवातिष्ठत्‌,“उसे देखकर वे अपनी रानीके साथ उसीके तटपर खड़े हुए

Transliteration

dṛṣṭvaiva ca tāṃ tasyāś ca tīre sahaiva tayā devyā tiṣṭhat

Translation

彼女がそこにいるのを見て、王はただちにその川の岸辺で歩みを止め、王妃とともに並び立った。この場面は王者の自制と礼節を際立たせる。王は衝動のままに駆け寄るのではなく、しかるべき作法をもって立ち止まり、状況と妃の同伴をわきまえていたのである。
