Devanagari script
तमापततन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य शूलहस्तं जिघांसया । यवक्री: सहसोत्थाय प्राद्रवद् येन वै सर:,राक्षस शूल हाथमें लिये मुझे मार डालनेकी इच्छासे मेरी और दौड़ा आ रहा है, यह देखकर यवक्रीत सहसा उठे और उस मार्गसे भागे जो एक सरोवरकी ओर जाता था
Transliteration
tam āpatatantaṃ samprekṣya śūlahastaṃ jighāṃsayā | yavakrīḥ sahasotthāya prādravad yena vai saraḥ ||
Translation
Seeing the rākṣasa rushing at him with a spear in hand, intent on killing, Yavakrī at once sprang up and fled along the path that led to a lake—choosing immediate self-preservation over confrontation in the face of sudden, unlawful violence.
