उदितां मरणे बुद्धिं मुनिवाक्यैर्निवर्तये। बुद्धिर्या तेन मे दत्ता प्राणानां रक्षणे मम॥ सा मेऽपनयते दुःखं दीप्तेवाग्निशिखा तमः।
uditāṃ maraṇe buddhiṃ munivākyairnivartaye| buddhiryā tena me dattā prāṇānāṃ rakṣaṇe mama|| sā me'panayate duḥkhaṃ dīptevāgniśikhā tamaḥ|
English Meaning
My rising intention of doing away with myself I have suppressed in consideration of the words of the ascetic. The reason which he had imparted to me for preserving my life, has removed my pains even as a flaming fire (dispels darkness).
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
