भार्गवस्य कुले जाता देवस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः। सहसे हृद्गतं दुःखमवमानं च दुःसहम्॥ आवां च सहितौ देवि प्रविशाव हुताशनम्। राजा तु रमतां सार्धं दैत्यपुत्र्या बहुक्षपाः॥
bhārgavasya kule jātā devasyākliṣṭakarmaṇaḥ| sahase hṛdgataṃ duḥkhamavamānaṃ ca duḥsaham|| āvāṃ ca sahitau devi praviśāva hutāśanam| rājā tu ramatāṃ sārdhaṃ daityaputryā bahukṣapāḥ||
English Meaning
Born in the race of the illustrious Bhārgava of unwearied actions, you are going tough mental afflictions and unbearable insults; therefore, O mother, let us both enter into fire. Let the king spend many nights with Śarmişthā, the daughter of a demon.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
