शनैश्चर उवाच । क्रूरस्वभावः सहजो मम दृष्टिस्तथेदृशी । मुञ्चस्व मां तथा कर्ता यद्ब्रवीषि न संशयः
śanaiścara uvāca | krūrasvabhāvaḥ sahajo mama dṛṣṭistathedṛśī | muñcasva māṃ tathā kartā yadbravīṣi na saṃśayaḥ
शनैश्चर म्हणाला—“क्रूर स्वभाव माझा जन्मजात आहे आणि माझी दृष्टीही तशीच आहे. मला सोड; तू जे सांगशील तेच करीन—यात संशय नाही.”
