अहो धिङ् मानुषं लोकं नास्ति खल्वधमः परः। यहुर्बला बलवता भर्तारो रावणेन नः॥ सूर्येणोदयता काले नक्षत्राणीव नाशिताः।
aho dhiṅ mānuṣaṃ lokaṃ nāsti khalvadhamaḥ paraḥ| yahurbalā balavatā bhartāro rāvaṇena naḥ|| sūryeṇodayatā kāle nakṣatrāṇīva nāśitāḥ|
English Meaning
Oh! fie upon humanity: there is none more vile than a man for they are weak. As the stars disappear with the rising of the sun in time, so our husbands have been destroyed by the powerful Ravana.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
