अनृतं नोक्तपूर्व मे न च वक्ष्यामि मैथिलि। चारित्रसुखशीलत्वात्प्रविष्टासि मनो मम ॥
anṛtaṃ noktapūrva me na ca vakṣyāmi maithili| cāritrasukhaśīlatvātpraviṣṭāsi mano mama ||
English Meaning
I never told you untruths heretofore; nor, O Mithila's daughter, will I tell them to you now. You by virtue of your character conducive to delight, have found an access into my heart.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
