Transliteration

ādhreṇa cit tád vékaṁ cakāra siṁhyáṁ cit pétvenā jaghāna | áva sraktī́r veśyā́vṛścad índraḥ práyachad víśvā bhójanā sudā́se ||

Translation

แม้ด้วยเครื่องมืออันอ่อนแรง เขาก็ทำให้เป็นการตัดสินเพียงครั้งเดียว; แม้พลังดุจสิงห์ก็ถูกเขาฟาดล้มด้วยเพียงหนึ่ง ضرب. อินทระตัดเครื่องพันธนาการที่ห้อยอยู่แห่งชีวิตสามัญ แล้วประทานพลังแห่งการเสวยและการหล่อเลี้ยงทั้งปวงแก่สุทาสะ
