Devanagari script

ततस्ते यत्नमातिष्ठन्‌ वीटामुद्धर्तुमादृता: । नच ते प्रत्यपद्यन्त कर्म वीटोपलब्धये,तब वे उस बीटाको निकालनेके लिये बड़ी तत्परताके साथ प्रयत्नमें लग गये; परंतु उसे प्राप्त करनेका कोई भी उपाय उनके ध्यानमें नहीं आया

Transliteration

tataste yatnam ātiṣṭhan vīṭām uddhartum ādṛtāḥ | na ca te pratyapadyanta karma vīṭopalabdhaye ||

Translation

ତାପରେ ସେମାନେ ଆଗ୍ରହରେ ଭୀଟାକୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରୟାସ କଲେ; କିନ୍ତୁ ତାହା ପାଇବାର କୌଣସି ଉପାୟ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଳିଲା ନାହିଁ।
