यन्मे धनं च रत्नं च ददौ राजा परंतपः। परिश्रान्तं पथ्यभवत् ततोऽहं पूर्वमागतः॥ राजवाक्यहरैर्दूतैस्त्वर्यमाणोऽहमागतः। यदहं प्रष्टुमिच्छामि तदम्बा वक्तुमर्हति ॥

English Meaning
My vehicles had got tired in consequence of bearing the wealth and jewels which that subduer of foes, the king, had bestowed on me. And it is for this reason that I have come in advance of them. Urged by the royal emissaries, I have come here so swiftly. But it behoves my mother to tell me what I wish to ask.
