Devanagari script

अहो सम्यक्‌ शुकेनोक्तं सर्वतः परिमुच्यता । प्रतिष्ठता महारण्यं जनकस्य निवेशनात्‌,“अहा! शुकदेव मुनिने जनकके राजमहलसे विशाल वनकी ओर जाते समय सब ओरसे बन्धनमुक्त हो क्या ही अच्छा कहा था?

Transliteration

aho samyak śukenoktaṃ sarvataḥ parimucyatā | pratiṣṭhatā mahāraṇyaṃ janakasya niveśanāt ||

Translation

Bhīṣma disse: “Ah! Quão perfeitamente falou Śuka: ‘Liberta-te dos grilhões por todos os lados.’ Ao partir da residência real do rei Janaka rumo à grande floresta, suas palavras captaram o caminho verdadeiro—uma renúncia que afrouxa o apego em todas as direções, e não apenas uma mudança de lugar.”
