सुभद्र उवाच । यद्येवं तव संतोषस्त्वेवमस्तु मुनीश्वर । साधूनां च यथा हर्षस्तथा कार्यं विजानता
subhadra uvāca | yadyevaṃ tava saṃtoṣastvevamastu munīśvara | sādhūnāṃ ca yathā harṣastathā kāryaṃ vijānatā
Wika ni Subhadra: “Kung ito ang ikalulugod mo, O panginoon sa mga pantas, mangyari nawa. Ang taong may pag-unawa ay dapat kumilos sa paraang ikatutuwa ng mga banal at matutuwid.”
