अथवा न गमिष्यामि पुरीं भरतपालिताम्॥ स्वर्गोऽपि हि तया हीनः शून्य एव मतो मम।
athavā na gamiṣyāmi purīṃ bharatapālitām|| svargo'pi hi tayā hīnaḥ śūnya eva mato mama|
English Meaning
Blessed is my father since he is in heaven now. I shall not repair to that city protected by Bharata. Without her even the heaven itself appears to me as desolate.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
