हते तु वीरे प्लवगाधिपे तदा वनेचरास्तत्र न शर्म लेभिरे। वनेचराः सिंहयुते महावने यथा हि गावो निहते गवां पतौ॥
hate tu vīre plavagādhipe tadā vanecarāstatra na śarma lebhire| vanecarāḥ siṃhayute mahāvane yathā hi gāvo nihate gavāṃ patau||
English Meaning
Like to kine, incapable of enjoying peace in a mighty forest filled with lions, their chief being dead, these forest-rangers could not attain to felicity on the demise of that lord of monkeys.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
