किमिदं कथ्यतां पुत्र्यः को धर्ममवमन्यते। कुब्जाः केन कृताः सर्वाश्चेष्टन्त्यो नाभिभाषथ।। एवं राजा विनिःश्वस्य समाधि संदधे ततः॥
kimidaṃ kathyatāṃ putryaḥ ko dharmamavamanyate| kubjāḥ kena kṛtāḥ sarvāśceṣṭantyo nābhibhāṣatha|| evaṃ rājā viniḥśvasya samādhi saṃdadhe tataḥ||
English Meaning
You daughters, what is this? Who is it that thus disregards virtue? By whom have you all come by this crooked form? And why demonstrating your grief, do you not answer me?' Having said this, the king heaved a deep sigh and became eager to hear all about it.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
