I have performed austere penances for many thousand years; I now swear before you, that if this Maithili is found touched by any sin I shall not reap the fruit of my ascetic observances extending over many thousand years.
बहुवर्षसहस्राणि तपश्चर्या मया कृता। नोपाश्नीयां फलं तस्या दुष्टेयं यदि मैथिली॥
