Ulūka’s Provocation and Keśava’s Counter-Message (उलूकदूत्ये केशवप्रत्युत्तरम्)

Devanagari script

अप्रियाणां च वचन प्रब्र॒ुवत्सु पुन: पुनः । अमर्ष दर्शयस्व त्वममर्षो होव पौरुषम्‌,“हमलोग बार-बार तुमलोगोंके प्रति अप्रिय वचन कहते हैं। तुम हमारे ऊपर अपना अमर्ष तो दिखाओ; क्योंकि अमर्ष ही पौरुष है

Transliteration

apriyāṇāṃ ca vacanaṃ prabrūvatsu punaḥ punaḥ | amarṣaṃ darśayasva tvam amarṣo hova pauruṣam ||

Translation

Sañjaya disse: “Ainda que repetidamente vos dirijamos palavras desagradáveis, deves mostrar-nos a tua indignação; pois a indignação—recusar suportar insulto e injustiça—é, de fato, a marca do espírito varonil.”
