व्यक्तं त्रिविष्टपं प्राप्तस्त्वया पुत्रेण तारितः । दृष्ट्वा मां दुःखितां बालां वने क्लिष्टामनागसम्
vyaktaṃ triviṣṭapaṃ prāptastvayā putreṇa tāritaḥ | dṛṣṭvā māṃ duḥkhitāṃ bālāṃ vane kliṣṭāmanāgasam
നിശ്ചയമായും ഞാൻ പ്രത്യക്ഷ ത്രിവിഷ്ടപം (സ്വർഗ്ഗം) പ്രാപിച്ചു; നീ—എൻ പുത്രൻ—എന്നെ തരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. എങ്കിലും നീ എന്നെ ദുഃഖിതയായ ബാലയായി, വനത്തിൽ ക്ലേശിതയായി, നിർദോഷയായി കണ്ടല്ലോ.
Uncertain from single-verse context (appears to be a mother addressing her son)
Concept: Even the innocent may suffer in the world; true deliverance is measured not only by heavenly attainment but by compassionate recognition and protection of the blameless.
Application: Do not dismiss another’s pain as deserved; actively protect the vulnerable and the faultless, especially when they are isolated or socially unseen.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: प्राप्तस्त्वया = प्राप्तः + त्वया; क्लिष्टामनागसम् = क्लिष्टाम् + अनागसम्; (अनागसम् agrees with बाला/माम—intended feminine accusative; transmitted form shows sandhi/orthographic variation).
FAQs
Triviṣṭapa is a classical Sanskrit name for Svarga—heaven or the realm of the gods—here used to indicate a lofty, divine attainment.
The speaker acknowledges being “saved” by her son, yet highlights the moral pain that she—innocent and vulnerable—was seen suffering in the forest, implying a delayed or incomplete protection.
Anāgasam (“without fault”) emphasizes the speaker’s innocence, framing her suffering as undeserved and intensifying the appeal to duty, compassion, and righteous protection.
