श्रेयोऽभियुक्तं धयं च शृणु पुत्र वचो मम॥ वरप्रदानसंमूढो मान्यामान्यं सुदुर्मतिः। न वेत्ति मम शापाच्च प्रकृति दारुणां गतः॥
śreyo'bhiyuktaṃ dhayaṃ ca śṛṇu putra vaco mama|| varapradānasaṃmūḍho mānyāmānyaṃ sudurmatiḥ| na vetti mama śāpācca prakṛti dāruṇāṃ gataḥ||
English Meaning
Do you listen to my words fraught with religion and profit. Of a wicked heart, you, with your understanding spoilt in consequence of the granting of the boon, can not distinguish between those deserving honour and those not; and, further, through my curse, you have come by fierce nature.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
