Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रं दरिद्रो धनमाप्नुयात् ॥ अभार्यो लभते भार्यामपतिः पतिमाप्नुयात् ॥
aputro labhate putraṃ daridro dhanam āpnuyāt || abhāryo labhate bhāryām apatiḥ patim āpnuyāt ||
អ្នកដែលគ្មានកូនប្រុស នឹងទទួលបានកូនប្រុស; អ្នកក្រីក្រ នឹងទទួលបានទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិ។ អ្នកគ្មានភរិយា នឹងទទួលបានភរិយា; និងអ្នកគ្មានស្វាមី នឹងទទួលបានស្វាមី។
