तत्राससाद तां व्याघ्रो दंष्ट्रोत्कटमुखावहः । सा तं दृष्टवती पापं त्रासमाप मृगीव हि
tatrāsasāda tāṃ vyāghro daṃṣṭrotkaṭamukhāvahaḥ | sā taṃ dṛṣṭavatī pāpaṃ trāsamāpa mṛgīva hi
Di situ seekor harimau menghadangnya, berwajah ngeri dengan taring yang menonjol. Melihat binatang jahat itu, dia dilanda ketakutan, bagaikan rusa betina.
