Devanagari script
त्वं यदो प्रतिपद्यस्व पाप्मानं जरया सह । यौवनेन त्वदीयेन चरेयं विषयानहम्,यदो! तुम बुढ़ापेके साथ मेरे दोषको ले लो और मैं तुम्हारी जवानीके द्वारा विषयोंका उपभोग करूँ। एक हजार वर्ष पूरे होनेपर मैं पुनः तुम्हारी जवानी देकर बुढ़ापेके साथ अपना दोष वापस ले लूँगा
Translation
“Yadu, tanggapin mo ang katandaan kasama ng ‘dungis’ ng aking kasalanan; at sa pamamagitan ng iyong kabataan, aking lalaruin at tatamuhin ang mga bagay na nakalulugod sa pandama.”
