The Account of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin
स तमुत्सड़मारोप्य परिपीडितमानस: । पुत्र रुधिरसंसिक्तं पर्यदेवयदातुर:
sa tam utsaḍam āropya paripīḍita-mānasaḥ | putra-rudhira-saṃsiktaṃ paryadevayad āturaḥ ||
Dahil sa pusong dinadaganan ng dalamhati, inangat niya ang katawan at inilagay sa bunton ng basura; at nang makita ang anak na nababalutan ng dugo, siya’y nanaghoy sa paligid sa matinding paghihirap.
