अस्मानप्यनयस्तस्मात् प्राप्तोडयं दारुणो महान् | हमलोग जो उस पापीका अनुसरण करते हैं, इसीलिये हमें भी यह अत्यन्त दारुण अनर्थ प्राप्त हुआ है
asmān apy anayas tasmāt prāpto 'yaṃ dāruṇo mahān |
Поскольку мы избрали следовать тому греховному пути, на нас теперь тоже обрушилось это великое и жестокое бедствие.
