Gṛdhra–Jambuka Saṃvāda (Dialogue of the Vulture and the Jackal) — On Grief, Kāla, and Resolve
विमानशतकोटीभिरावृतं पुण्यकर्मभि: । उसने विचित्र हार और वस्त्र धारण कर रकक््खे थे और वह सब प्रकारके आभूषणोंसे विभूषित था। अरबों पुण्यकर्मी पुरुषोंसे युक्त विमानोंने उसे घेर रक्खा था ।।
vimānaśatakoṭibhir āvṛtaṃ puṇyakarmabhiḥ | tataḥ svarga gataḥ pakṣī vimānavaram āsthitaḥ | karmaṇā pūjitas tatra reme sa saha bhāryayā ||
ପୁଣ୍ୟକର୍ମୀ ଜନମାନଙ୍କରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କୋଟି କୋଟି ବିମାନରେ ଆବୃତ ହୋଇ ସେହି ପକ୍ଷୀ ତାପରେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବିମାନରେ ଆରୋହଣ କରି ସ୍ୱର୍ଗକୁ ଗଲା। ସେଠାରେ ନିଜ ସତ୍କର୍ମରେ ପୂଜିତ ହୋଇ, ସେ ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟା ସହ ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ବସିଲା।
