Adhyaya 25 — Madalasa's Teaching I
तुतुषुस्तेन वै भृत्या जहास च मदालसा ।
सा वै मदालसा पुत्रं बालमुत्तानशायिनम् ।
उल्लापनच्छलेनाह रुदमानमविस्वरम् ॥
tutuṣus tena vai bhṛtyā jahāsa ca madālasā | sā vai madālasā putraṃ bālam uttānaśāyinam | ullāpanacchalenāha rudamānam avisvaram ||
അത് കേട്ട് സേവകർ സന്തോഷിച്ചു; മദാലസ പുഞ്ചിരിച്ചു. പിന്നെ ശിശുഭാഷയുടെ മറവിൽ, പുറംചായ്ന്നുകിടന്ന് മന്ദമായി കരയുന്ന തന്റെ ശിശുപുത്രനോട് അവൾ പറഞ്ഞു.
