Transliteration

sa cen mamāra suñjaya caturbhadrataras tvayā | putrāt puṇyataras caiva mā putram anutapyathāḥ ||

Translation

Vāyu nói: “Hỡi Suñjaya, nếu ngay cả những người được ban đủ bốn đức lành cát tường, vượt trội hơn ông, và còn công đức hơn cả con trai ông, cũng đã phải chết—thì con trai ông có quyền gì đặc biệt trước tử thần? Vậy chớ than khóc vì con.”
