न चास्य माता न पिता न चान्यः स्नेहाद् विशिष्टोऽस्ति मया समो वा। तावद्ध्यहं दूत जिजीविषेयं यावत् प्रवृत्तिं शृणुयां प्रियस्य॥
na cāsya mātā na pitā na cānyaḥ snehād viśiṣṭo'sti mayā samo vā| tāvaddhyahaṃ dūta jijīviṣeyaṃ yāvat pravṛttiṃ śṛṇuyāṃ priyasya||
English Meaning
His love for his mother, father or any other person is not greater than or equal to his love for me. O messenger, I shall keep my life so long I do not hear anything about my dear one.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
