Devanagari script

देवलो दर्शयन्नेव नैवायुझड्जत धर्मत: । एवं तयोर्महाराज दीर्घकालो व्यतिक्रमत्‌,यद्यपि महामुनि जैगीषव्य उस आश्रममें ही रहते थे तथापि देवल मुनि उन्हें दिखाकर धर्मतः योग-साधना नहीं करते थे। इस तरह दोनोंको वहाँ रहते हुए बहुत समय बीत गया

Transliteration

Vaiśampāyana uvāca | devalo darśayann eva naivāyujyad dharmataḥ | evaṃ tayor mahārāja dīrghakālo vyatikramat ||

Translation

ଦେବଳ ମୁନି ଉପାୟ ଓ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଖାଇ ଯାଉଥିଲେ; କିନ୍ତୁ ଧର୍ମାନୁସାରେ (ତାଙ୍କୁ) ସାଧନାରେ ଯୋଗାଇଲେ ନାହିଁ, ବାଧ୍ୟ ମଧ୍ୟ କଲେ ନାହିଁ। ଏଭଳି ଭାବେ, ହେ ମହାରାଜ, ସେଠାରେ ଦୁହେଁଙ୍କର ଦୀର୍ଘକାଳ ବିତିଗଲା।
