Sarga 75: Bharata and Kausalya—Reproach, Oaths, and Reconciliation
मम दुःखमिदं पुत्र भूयस्समुपजायते।शपथै श्शपमानो हि प्राणानुपरुणत्सि मे।।।।
mama duḥkham idaṃ putra bhūyaḥ samupajāyate | śapathaiḥ śapamāno hi prāṇān uparuṇatsi me ||
పుత్రా, నా ఈ దుఃఖము మరింతగా పెరుగుతోంది; ఎందుకంటే ఇలాంటి శపథాలు చేస్తూ నీవు నా ప్రాణవాయువునే రుద్దుతున్నట్లుగా ఉంది।
