आश्चासितोऊ हं प्राग्वृद्धैर्भवद्धिर्मुनिपुड़वै: । न सूक्ष्ममपि मे किंचिद् व्यलीकमिह विद्यते
āśvāsito ’haṃ prāg vṛddhair bhavadbhir munipuṅgavaiḥ | na sūkṣmam api me kiñcid vyalīkam iha vidyate ||
ବୈଶମ୍ପାୟନ କହିଲେ—ମହାନୁଭାବମାନେ! ଆପଣମାନେ ବୃଦ୍ଧ ଏବଂ ମୁନିମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ। ଆପଣଙ୍କ ବାଣୀ ମୋତେ ଗଭୀର ସାନ୍ତ୍ୱନା ଦେଇଛି; ଏବେ ମୋ ମନରେ ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମମାତ୍ର ଦୁଃଖ ମଧ୍ୟ ନାହିଁ।
