उपशृण्वन्तु मे सर्वे साक्षिणो हि वनेचराः॥ न्यायवादी यथा वाक्यमुक्तोऽहं परुषं त्वया। धिक् त्वामद्य विनश्यन्ती यन्मामेवं विशङ्कसे॥ स्त्रीत्वाद् दुष्टस्वभावेन गुरुवाक्ये व्यवस्थितम्। गच्छामि यत्र काकुत्स्थः स्वस्ति तेऽस्तु वरानने॥
upaśṛṇvantu me sarve sākṣiṇo hi vanecarāḥ|| nyāyavādī yathā vākyamukto'haṃ paruṣaṃ tvayā| dhik tvāmadya vinaśyantī yanmāmevaṃ viśaṅkase|| strītvād duṣṭasvabhāvena guruvākye vyavasthitam| gacchāmi yatra kākutsthaḥ svasti te'stu varānane||
English Meaning
However the deities ranging in this woodland are my witnesses—may they hear you. I spoke what was fair and have been thus addressed by you with these harsh words. I do always obey my superior's commands. Fie on you! Your destruction is near at hand that do you suspect me, being influenced' by this womanish nature. I shall go where Kākutstha is, may good betide you, O you the best of damsel!
