प्रसीदन्तु भवन्तो मेऽहीरेषा तु ममातुला॥ यदीदृशैरहं विप्रैरुपस्थेयैरुपस्थितः। किं करोमीति च मया व्याहृतं द्विजसंनिधौ॥
prasīdantu bhavanto me'hīreṣā tu mamātulā|| yadīdṛśairahaṃ viprairupastheyairupasthitaḥ| kiṃ karomīti ca mayā vyāhṛtaṃ dvijasaṃnidhau||
English Meaning
'Be you propitious.' This is surpassing shame to me that such Vipras who themselves are worthy of being sought, seek me. What shall I do? I said this in the presence of those twiceborn ones.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
