क्व नु तेडद्य पिता राजन् क्व नु तेडद्य पितामहा: । न त्वं पश्यसि तानद्य न त्वां पश्यन्ति तेडनघ,राजन्! आज तुम्हारे पिता कहाँ हैं? आज तुम्हारे पितामह कहाँ गये? निष्पाप नरेश! आज न तो तुम उन्हें देख रहे हो और न वे तुम्हें देखते हैं

janaka uvāca | kva nu te 'dya pitā rājan kva nu te 'dya pitāmahāḥ | na tvaṁ paśyasi tān adya na tvāṁ paśyanti te 'nagha ||
Translation
ข้าแต่พระราชา บิดาของพระองค์วันนี้อยู่ ณ ที่ใด และปิตามหาทั้งหลายวันนี้อยู่ ณ ที่ใด โอ้กษัตริย์ผู้ปราศจากมลทิน วันนี้พระองค์มิได้เห็นท่านเหล่านั้น และท่านเหล่านั้นก็มิได้เห็นพระองค์
