Devanagari script
बृहत्सेने व्रजामात्यानानाय्य नलशासनात् | आचक्ष्व यद्धृतं द्रव्यमवशिष्टं च यद् वसु,(दमयन्तीने उससे कहा)--“बृहत्सेने! तुम मन्त्रियोंक पास जाओ तथा राजा नलकी आज्ञासे उन्हें बुला लाओ। फिर उन्हें यह बताओ कि अमुक-अमुक द्रव्य हारा जा चुका है और अमुक धन अभी अवशिष्ट है!
Translation
ਦਮਯੰਤੀ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—“ਬ੍ਰਿਹਤਸੇਨੇ! ਰਾਜਾ ਨਲ ਦੇ ਹੁਕਮ ਨਾਲ ਮੰਤਰੀਆਂ ਕੋਲ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬੁਲਾ ਲਿਆ। ਫਿਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੱਸੀਂ ਕਿ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਧਨ ਹਾਰਿਆ ਜਾ ਚੁੱਕਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਕਿਹੜੀ ਦੌਲਤ ਹਜੇ ਬਾਕੀ ਹੈ।”
