କୃଶ କହିଲେ—ହେ ରାଜନ୍! ମୁଁ ଏ ସବୁ ନିଜ ଆଖିରେ ଦେଖିଛି ଏବଂ ମୁନିଙ୍କ ସେହି ବଚନ ନିଜ କାନରେ ଶୁଣିଛି। ତେଣୁ ଦେହକୁ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ କୃଶ କରୁଥିବା ଏହି ଆଶାକୁ ଶୀଘ୍ର ତ୍ୟାଗ କର।

Desire and clinging (āśā) weaken a person; one should promptly abandon such craving and practice self-restraint and detachment.
Kṛśa addresses a king, testifying that he has personally witnessed events and heard a sage’s words, and urges the king to give up a deer-related longing that is causing physical and inner depletion.
