Pāṇḍu’s Funeral Rites and Public Mourning
Devanagari script
मृग उवाच नाहं घ्नन्तं मृगान् राजन् विगहें चात्मकारणात् | मैथुन तु प्रतीक्ष्यं मे त्वयेहाद्यानृशंस्यत:,मृगने कहा--राजन्! मैं अपने मारे जानेके कारण इस बातके लिये तुम्हारी निन्दा नहीं करता कि तुम मृगोंको मारते हो। मुझे तो इतना ही कहना है कि तुम्हें दयाभावका आश्रय लेकर मेरे मैथुनकर्मसे निवृत्त होनेतक प्रतीक्षा करनी चाहिये थी

Translation
ମୃଗ କହିଲା— ରାଜନ୍! ମୋ ମୃତ୍ୟୁର କାରଣ ତୁମେ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ, ତୁମେ ମୃଗବଧ କରୁଛ ବୋଲି ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ନିନ୍ଦା କରୁନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଦୟାଭାବରୁ ଏଠାରେ ମୋର ମୈଥୁନକର୍ମ ସମାପ୍ତ ହେବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୁମେ ପ୍ରତୀକ୍ଷା କରିବା ଉଚିତ ଥିଲା।
