विज्ञातं ते मया दूत वाक्यं यत्त्वं प्रभाषसे॥ नैव त्वमसि नैवासौ भ्रात्रा येनासि चोदितः। हितं नैष ममैतद्धि ब्रवीति धनरक्षकः॥ महेश्वरसखित्वं तु मूढः श्रावयते किल।
vijñātaṃ te mayā dūta vākyaṃ yattvaṃ prabhāṣase|| naiva tvamasi naivāsau bhrātrā yenāsi coditaḥ| hitaṃ naiṣa mamaitaddhi bravīti dhanarakṣakaḥ|| maheśvarasakhitvaṃ tu mūḍhaḥ śrāvayate kila|
English Meaning
O messenger, I have learnt what you have uttered. Neither you nor this brother of mine by whom you have been despatched, (shall live); nor does the keeper of riches say what is for my good. And the fool makes me hear the circumstance of his having made friends with Mahesvara.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
