विनाशे बहवो दोषा जीवन् प्राप्नोति भद्रकम्। तस्मात् प्राणान् धरिष्यामि ध्रुवो जीवति संगमः॥
vināśe bahavo doṣā jīvan prāpnoti bhadrakam| tasmāt prāṇān dhariṣyāmi dhruvo jīvati saṃgamaḥ||
English Meaning
Incalculable are the ills of my putting a period to my existence; (on the other hand) if I live, I imay come by good. Therefore my life I will maintain. If I live, it may conduce to happiness."
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
