na snehyasya ca vicchedo vilāpa-ruditastha ca | mṛtasyāsya parityāgāt tāpo vai bhavitā dhruvam ||

Translation

Джамбука сказал: «Если вы оставите этого мёртвого ребёнка, то ни ваша привязанность поистине не будет отсечена, ни ваши рыдания и причитания не прекратятся. Напротив, внутреннее жжение скорби несомненно усилится.»
