स्यात् तु मद्धाग्यदोषो<5यं याहं युष्मानजीजनम् । दुःखायासभुजो व्यर्थ युक्तानप्युत्तमैर्गुणै:,यह मेरे ही भाग्यका दोष हो सकता है। तुम तो उत्तम गुणोंसे युक्त हो तो भी अत्यन्त दुःख और कष्ट भोगनेके लिये ही मैंने तुम्हें जन्म दिया है
syāt tu madbhāgyadoṣo 'yaṃ yāhaṃ yuṣmān ajījanam | duḥkhāyāsabhujo vyarthaṃ yuktān apy uttamair guṇaiḥ ||
