शूद्रायामस्मि वैश्येन जातो नरवराधिप। इतीव वदतः कृच्छाद् बाणाभिहतमर्मणः॥ विघूर्णतो विचेष्टस्य वेपमानस्य भूतले। तस्य त्वाताम्यमानस्य तं बाणमहमुद्धरम्। स मामुद्वीक्ष्य संत्रस्तो जहौ प्राणांस्तपोधनः॥

English Meaning
O lord of the foremost men, I was begot by a Vaisya on a Sudra woman.' As he, his vitals afflicted with the shaft, hi eyes rolling, inert and trembling on the ground, with his limbs drawn in, was speaking with difficulty, I drew out the arrow. Thereupon, looking at me, the ascetic, growing affrighted, gave up the ghost.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
