इदं हि तेजस्तव यद् दुरत्ययं तदेव जिज्ञासितुमिच्छता मया। इमं भवानर्थमभिप्रचोदितो वृणीष्व किं चेदपरं व्यवस्यसि॥
idaṃ hi tejastava yad duratyayaṃ tadeva jijñāsitumicchatā mayā| imaṃ bhavānarthamabhipracodito vṛṇīṣva kiṃ cedaparaṃ vyavasyasi||
English Meaning
I acted thus only as a matter of joke. I asked you to do this only with the object of knowing whether you had the power to hurl this rod. Do you ask of me now anything you like.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
