Devanagari script
निवेशायाखिलां भूमिं कन्याभैक्ष्यं चरामि भो: । दरिद्रो दःखशीलश्न पितृभि: संनियोजित:,“अतः विवाहके लिये मैं सारी पृथ्वीपर घूमकर कन्याकी भिक्षा चाहता हूँ। यद्यपि मैं दरिद्र हूँ और सुविधाओंके अभावमें दुःखी हूँ, तो भी पितरोंकी आज्ञासे विवाहके लिये उद्यत हूँ
Translation
Takṣaka disse: “Para me estabelecer na vida doméstica, percorro toda a terra pedindo uma donzela como quem pede esmola. Embora eu seja pobre e sofra pela falta de recursos, por ordem de meus antepassados preparo-me para o matrimônio.”
