Devanagari script
कुण्जरं चान्तरं कृत्वा मिथ्योपचरितं मया । सुभृशं राज्यलुब्धेन पापेन गुरुघातिना
Transliteration
kuñjaraṃ cāntaraṃ kṛtvā mithyopacaritaṃ mayā | subhṛśaṃ rājyalubdhena pāpena gurughātinā ||
Translation
Ginamit ko ang elepante bilang tabing at kumilos nang may kasinungalingan. Nabubulag ng matinding kasakiman sa kaharian, ako—ang makasalanan, ang pumatay sa sarili kong guro—ay nandaya sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng pagsasalita ng di-totoo sa ilalim ng balitang patay na ang elepante.
