इह तु स्थण्डिले शीघ्रं कुशानास्तर सारथे। आर्य प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यामि यावन्मे सम्प्रसीदति॥ निराहारो निरालोको धनहीनो यथा द्विजः। शये पुरस्ताच्छालायां यावन्मां प्रतियास्यति ॥
iha tu sthaṇḍile śīghraṃ kuśānāstara sārathe| ārya pratyupavekṣyāmi yāvanme samprasīdati|| nirāhāro nirāloko dhanahīno yathā dvijaḥ| śaye purastācchālāyāṃ yāvanmāṃ pratiyāsyati ||
English Meaning
O charioteer, do you speedily spread Kuša on the ground here. I will remain near the noble one until he be kindly disposed (towards me). Even as a twice born one deprived of his wealth Leith down (at the door of an unrighteous person), eschewing food and in darkness, will I lie down in front of this cottage, until he betakes himself back (to Ayodhyā)
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
