Devanagari script
सा शड्कमाना तत् पापं चिकीर्षन्ती च तत्प्रियम् । नलं च हृतसर्वस्वमुपलभ्येदमब्रवीत्,उसके मनमें यह आशंका हो गयी कि राजापर बहुत बड़ा कष्ट आनेवाला है। वह उनका प्रिय एवं हित करना चाहती थी। अत: महाराजके सर्वस्वका अपहरण होता जान धायको बुलाकर (इस प्रकार बोली)
Translation
ಅವಳ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜನ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಹಾ ವಿಪತ್ತು ಬರುವುದೆಂಬ ಶಂಕೆ ಮೂಡಿತು. ಅವಳು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯವೂ ಹಿತವೂ ಮಾಡಲು ಬಯಸಿ, ನಲನ ಸರ್ವಸ್ವವೂ ಹರಣವಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದನ್ನು ಅರಿತು ಹೀಗೆಂದಳು।
