Āṇīmāṇḍavya–Upākhyāna
The Account of Āṇīmāṇḍavya and the Birth of Vidura
Devanagari script
जातमात्र पुरा दृष्टवा त॑ पुत्र शान्तनुस्तदा । नोपलेभे स्मृतिं धीमानभिज्ञातुं तमात्मजम्,शान्तनुने अपने पुत्रको पहले पैदा होनेके समय ही देखा था; अतः उन बुद्धिमान् नरेशको उस समय उसकी याद नहीं आयी; इसीलिये वे अपने ही पुत्रको पहचान न सके
Transliteration
jātamātraṃ purā dṛṣṭvā taṃ putra śāntanustadā | nopalebhe smṛtiṃ dhīmān abhijñātuṃ tam ātmajam ||
Translation
ଶାନ୍ତନୁ ସେହି ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ବହୁ ପୂର୍ବେ କେବଳ ଜନ୍ମମାତ୍ର ସମୟରେ ଦେଖିଥିଲେ; ତେଣୁ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେତେବେଳେ ସ୍ମୃତି ଫେରିଲା ନାହିଁ, ଏବଂ ନିଜ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ଚିହ୍ନି ପାରିଲେ ନାହିଁ।
