पपाताङ्के मुने राम वाक्यं चेदमुवाच ह। न मेऽस्ति माता न पिता ज्ञातयो बान्धवाः कुतः॥ त्रातुमर्हसि मां सौम्य धर्मेण मुनिपुङ्गव ।
papātāṅke mune rāma vākyaṃ cedamuvāca ha| na me'sti mātā na pitā jñātayo bāndhavāḥ kutaḥ|| trātumarhasi māṃ saumya dharmeṇa munipuṅgava |
English Meaning
I have neither father, nor mother, nor relatives, nor friends anywhere. It therefore behoves you, O gentle one, to save me in the interests of virtue, O foremost of ascetics.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
