किमनेन कृतं शंभो अकृत्यं वद तत्त्वतः । य इमां प्राप्तितोऽवस्थां प्राणात्ययकरीं भव
kimanena kṛtaṃ śaṃbho akṛtyaṃ vada tattvataḥ | ya imāṃ prāptito'vasthāṃ prāṇātyayakarīṃ bhava
«ឱ សម្ភូអើយ គាត់បានធ្វើអំពើខុសអ្វី? សូមប្រាប់ខ្ញុំតាមសច្ចៈដោយពិត—ដោយអ្វីបានជាគាត់មកដល់ស្ថានភាពនេះ ដែលនាំទៅកាន់ការបាត់បង់ជីវិត?»

Type: kshetra

None; it is a request for tattva (truth) regarding wrongdoing and consequence.
