Chapter 42
यत् त्वं निदर्शनार्थ मां शल्य जल्पितवानसि । नाहं शक््यस्त्वया वाचा बिभीषयितुमाहवे
yat tvaṁ nidarśanārthaṁ māṁ śalya jalpitavān asi | nāhaṁ śakyas tvayā vācā bibhīṣayitum āhave ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ຊາລະຍະ, ຄໍາພັນທະທີ່ເຈົ້າຖັກທໍ່ໃສ່ຂ້ອຍ ເພື່ອເປັນຕົວຢ່າງນັ້ນ—ຈົ່ງຮູ້ໄວ້ເປັນຄໍາຕອບ: ໃນສະໜາມຮົບນີ້ ເຈົ້າບໍ່ອາດເຮັດໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍຢ້ານດ້ວຍຄໍາເວົ້າໄດ້».
