न त्वेव मम संतोषाद् रोचते<न्यन्मृगाधिप । न कामये सुखान् भोगानैश्वर्य च तदाश्रयम्,मृगराज! मुझे तो संतोषके सिवा और कोई वस्तु रुचती ही नहीं है। मैं सुख, भोग और उनके आधारभूत ऐश्वर्यको नहीं चाहता
Transliteration
na tveva mama santoṣād rocatenyaṁ mṛgādhipa | na kāmaye sukhān bhogān aiśvaryaṁ ca tadāśrayam ||
Translation
Śārṭūla nói: “Nhưng ngoài sự tri túc ra, chẳng điều gì thật sự hấp dẫn ta, hỡi chúa tể muôn thú. Ta không ham khoái lạc và hưởng thụ, cũng không ham quyền thế và phú quý—những thứ làm nền cho chúng.”
