O foremost of men, all I wish for is that you may not come by falsehood, and abide by truth. I truly and in good sooth swear before you that I cannot, O lord, remain here for a moment longer, O my father. Do you bear this grief. I cannot for certain act contrary to my promise.
त्वामहं सत्यमिच्छामि नानृतं पुरुषर्षभ। प्रत्यक्षं तव सत्येन सुकृतेन च ते शपे॥ न च शक्यं मया तात स्थातुं क्षणमपि प्रभो। स शोकं धारयस्वेमं नहि मेऽस्ति विपर्ययः॥
