मया दत्तप्रहारोऽयं क्रोधेनाविष्टचेतसा। भिक्षार्थमटमानेन काले विगतभैक्षके॥ रथ्यास्थितस्त्वयं श्वा वै गच्छ गच्छेति भाषितः। अथ स्वरेण गच्छंस्तु रथ्यान्ते विषमः स्थितः॥ क्रोधेन क्षुधयाविष्टस्ततो दत्तोऽस्य राघव। प्रहारो राजराजेन्द्र शाधि मामपराधिनम्॥ त्वया शस्तस्य राजेन्द्र नास्ति मे नरकाद्भयम्।

English Meaning
"Knocking about whole day for alms I was highly enraged and struck this dog. It was sitting in the mid-way and I asked it again and again to more away. Thereupon, moving away and standing with reluctance. It stood fearfully on the roadside. O descendant of Raghu, I was at that time stricken with hunger, and struck it for its vicious conduct. O king of kings, I am guilty in this, and you must punish me, O lord of kings, do you administer punishment to me,-I shall then be released from the fear of hell."
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
