Jarītā–Śārṅgā-saṃvāda: Ākhu-haraṇa and the Approach of Agni (आखुहरणं अग्न्यागमनश्च)
अरुचिश्लाभवत् तीव्रा तां न शक्नोम्यपोहितुम् । तेजसा विप्रहीणो5स्मि बलेन च जगत्पते
aruciślābhavat tīvrā tāṁ na śaknomy apohitum | tejasā viprahīṇo 'smi balena ca jagatpate ||
វៃសម្បាយនៈបាននិយាយថា៖ «ទុក្ខវេទនាដ៏កាចសាហាវនោះ—ដូចជាការបាត់បង់ពន្លឺរុងរឿងរបស់ខ្លួន—ខ្ញុំមិនអាចបណ្តេញឲ្យផុតទៅបានទេ។ ខ្ញុំខ្វះទាំងតេជៈវិញ្ញាណ និងកម្លាំងផងដែរ ឱ ព្រះអម្ចាស់នៃលោកទាំងមូល»។

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights human limitation and the ethical posture of humility: when one’s inner vigor (tejas) and strength (bala) fail, one should acknowledge incapacity and seek higher support rather than act from pride or desperation.
Vaiśampāyana reports a speaker’s confession of being unable to dispel an intense affliction, describing a state of diminished radiance and strength, and addressing a higher authority as “Lord of the world,” indicating a plea for aid or protection.
