Uddhava Sent to Vraja: Consolation to Nanda-Yaśodā and the Gopīs’ Separation
न माता न पिता तस्य न भार्या न सुतादय: । नात्मीयो न परश्चापि न देहो जन्म एव च ॥ ३८ ॥
na mātā na pitā tasya na bhāryā na sutādayaḥ nātmīyo na paraś cāpi na deho janma eva ca
ພຣະອົງບໍ່ມີແມ່ ບໍ່ມີພໍ່ ບໍ່ມີເມຍ ບໍ່ມີລູກ ຫຼືຍາດພີ່ນ້ອງ. ບໍ່ມີໃຜເປັນຂອງພຣະອົງ ແລະບໍ່ມີໃຜເປັນຄົນແປກໜ້າ; ພຣະອົງບໍ່ມີກາຍວັດຖຸ ແລະບໍ່ມີການເກີດ.
