Shloka 133
The Account and Merit of Śivadūtī
with the Nāga-tīrtha at Puṣkara
बंधुभिः स्वजनैश्चैव तेषां वंशो न छिद्यते । अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रं धनार्थी लभते धनम्
baṃdhubhiḥ svajanaiścaiva teṣāṃ vaṃśo na chidyate | aputro labhate putraṃ dhanārthī labhate dhanam
ដោយមានសាច់ញាតិ និងមនុស្សរបស់ខ្លួនគាំទ្រ វង្សត្រកូលរបស់ពួកគេមិនត្រូវកាត់ផ្តាច់ឡើយ។ អ្នកដែលគ្មានបុត្រ នឹងបានបុត្រ; អ្នកដែលប្រាថ្នាទ្រព្យ នឹងបានទ្រព្យ។
