Haryaśva’s Agreement with Gālava and the Birth of Vasumanā
Nārada’s narration
Devanagari script
तत् तु दास्यामि यत् कार्यमिदं सम्पादयिष्यति । अभिगम्य हताशो हि निवृत्तो दहते कुलम्,“अतः मैं एक ऐसी वस्तु दूँगा, जो इस कार्यका सम्पादन कर देगी। अपने पास आकर कोई याचक हताश हो जाय तो वह लौटनेपर आशा भंग करनेवाले राजाके समूचे कुलको दग्ध कर देता है
Transliteration
tat tu dāsyāmi yat kāryam idaṁ sampādayiṣyati | abhigamya hatāśo hi nivṛtto dahate kulam ||
Translation
“因此，我将给你一物，使此事得以成就。因为若有求者来到君王面前，离去时却失望而归、希望尽碎，那么这份挫败在他返程之际，便如烈火焚尽那位断人希望之王的整个族脉。”
