Kuntī’s Regulated Hospitality to a Brāhmaṇa Guest
स तयाभिहतो धीमान् गदया भीमवेगया । नाकम्पत महाबाहुर्हिमवानिव सुस्थिर:,भयानक वेगवाली उस गदासे आहत होकर भी बुद्धिमान् महाबाहु विभीषण विचलित नहीं हुए। वे हिमालयके समान सुस्थिरभावसे खड़े रहे
sa tayābhihato dhīmān gadayā bhīmavegayā | nākampata mahābāhur himavān iva susthiraḥ ||
恐るべき勢いで飛来した棍棒に打たれても、智ある剛腕の者は揺らがなかった。ヒマヴァーン（ヒマラヤ）のごとく、堅固に立ち、不動であった—暴力の前における不屈の勇気と自己統御の象徴である。
