Adhyaya 43 — Portents of Death (Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇas) and the Yogin’s Response; Alarka Renounces Kingship
सोऽहं न तेऽरिर्न ममासि शत्रुः सुबाहुरेषो न ममापकारी ।
दृष्टं मया सर्वमिदं यथात्मा अन्विष्यतां भूप ! रिपुस्त्वयान्यः ॥
so 'haṃ na te 'rir na mamāsi śatruḥ subāhur eṣo na mamāpakārī |
dṛṣṭaṃ mayā sarvam idaṃ yathātmā anviṣyatāṃ bhūpa ripus tvayānyaḥ ||
