जानास्यनियतामेवं भूतानामागतिं गतिम्। तस्माच्छुभं हि कर्तव्यं पण्डितेनेह लौकिकम्॥
jānāsyaniyatāmevaṃ bhūtānāmāgatiṃ gatim| tasmācchubhaṃ hi kartavyaṃ paṇḍiteneha laukikam||
English Meaning
Do you know that life and death of the animals is very unsettled. It is therefore proper to perform what tends to the welfare of after-life. It does not behove you, O learned damsel, to mourn like others.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
