नरो यानेन यः स्वप्ने खरयुक्तेन याति हि। अचिरात्तस्य धूम्राग्रं चितायां सम्प्रदृश्यते॥ एतन्निमित्तं दीनोऽहं न वचः प्रतिपूजये। शुष्यतीव च मे कण्ठो न स्वस्थमिव मे मनः॥
naro yānena yaḥ svapne kharayuktena yāti hi| acirāttasya dhūmrāgraṃ citāyāṃ sampradṛśyate|| etannimittaṃ dīno'haṃ na vacaḥ pratipūjaye| śuṣyatīva ca me kaṇṭho na svasthamiva me manaḥ||
English Meaning
The smoke of the funeral pyre of him will be shortly visible that goes in the car yoked with asses. It is for this reason that I am poor of spirit, and that I do not respond to your words. Further, my throat is parched, and my mind ill at ease.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
