Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
स्वागतं सर्वथैवेह तवाद्य मनुजर्षभ । इमान्यमृतकल्पानि मूलानि च फलानि च,मानवशिरोमणे! आज यहाँ सब प्रकारसे तुम्हारा स्वागत है। ये अमृतके समान मीठे फल-मूल खाकर यहींसे लौट जाओ, अन्यथा व्यर्थ ही तुम्हारे प्राण संकटमें पड़ जायाँगे। नरपुंगव! यदि मेरा कथन हितकर जान पड़े तो इसे अवश्य मानो
svāgataṁ sarvathaiveha tavādya manujarṣabha | imāny amṛtakalpāni mūlāni ca phalāni ca, mānavaśiromaṇe! ājya iha sarvaprakāreṇa tumhārā svāgata hai | ye amṛtake samāna mīṭhe phala-mūla khākara yahīṁse lauṭa jāo, anyathā vyartha hī tumhāre prāṇa saṅkaṭameṁ paṛa jāyāṁge | narapuṅgava! yadi merā kathana hitakara jān paṛe to ise avaśya māno
Vaiśampāyana disse: “Sê bem-vindo aqui hoje de todas as maneiras, ó melhor dos homens. Aqui há raízes e frutos, doces como néctar, ó joia entre os humanos. Come-os e retorna daqui; caso contrário, tua vida pode cair em perigo sem qualquer proveito. Ó touro entre os homens—se minhas palavras te parecerem benéficas, aceita-as sem falta.”
