न त्वेवानागते काले देहाच्च्यवति जीवितम्। कैकेय्या क्लिश्यमानस्य मृत्युर्मम न विद्यते॥ योऽहं पावकसंकाशं पश्यामि पुरतः स्थितम्। विहाय वसने सूक्ष्मे तापसाच्छादमात्मजम्॥
na tvevānāgate kāle dehāccyavati jīvitam| kaikeyyā kliśyamānasya mṛtyurmama na vidyate|| yo'haṃ pāvakasaṃkāśaṃ paśyāmi purataḥ sthitam| vihāya vasane sūkṣme tāpasācchādamātmajam||
English Meaning
(I infer) that life never departs from the body unless the time comes, for although sore tried by Kaikeyſ, my life does not go out of me, and for I can see before me this one resembling fire, clad in the dress of an ascetic, having left his fine venture.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
