परिक्लिष्टस्य दीनस्य दीर्घकालोषितस्य च । ह्ृदयं कस्य न स्फोटेदैश्वर्याद् भ्रंशितस्य च,“जिसे नाना प्रकारका क्लेश दिया गया हो, दीर्घकालके लिये राज्यसे निर्वासित किया गया हो तथा जिसे राज्यसे वंचित होकर दीनभावसे जीवन बिताना पड़ा हो, ऐसे किस स्वाभिमानी पुरुषका हृदय विदीर्ण न हो जायगा?
parikliṣṭasya dīnasya dīrghakāloṣitasya ca | hṛdayaṁ kasya na sphoṭed aiśvaryād bhraṁśitasya ca ||
“见那人饱受百般折磨，久被逐离国土，又因失去王权而屈辱度日——有谁的心不会为之碎裂？”
