सांप्रतं व्रतकालस्ते वर्षं चैवाष्टमं स्थितम् । तच्छ्रुत्वा वचनं तस्य लज्जयाऽधोमुखः स्थितः
sāṃprataṃ vratakālaste varṣaṃ caivāṣṭamaṃ sthitam | tacchrutvā vacanaṃ tasya lajjayā'dhomukhaḥ sthitaḥ
اب تیرے ورت کا وقت آ پہنچا ہے؛ تیرا آٹھواں برس بھی ہو گیا ہے۔ اس کی بات سن کر وہ شرم سے سر جھکا کر کھڑا رہ گیا۔
Nārada
