What can be more distressful than this that people should know you as Virata's cook Ballava by name and fallen into servitude. When you wait on the king Virata calling yourself as Ballava the cook after getting through the work of the kitchen, then my very niind sinks into despair.
सूपकारं विराटस्य बल्लवं त्वां विदुर्जनाः। प्रेष्यत्वं समनुप्राप्त ततो दुःखतरं नु किम्॥ यदा महानसे सिद्धे विराटमुपतिष्ठसि। ब्रुवाणो बल्लव: सूदस्तदा सीदति मे मनः॥
