You do not know of the miseries and insults I have been subject to. O Brāhmaṇa, when a tree is neglected, those who live thereon are also distressed. The king having disregarded me, forsooth you have also been neglected.
न मां त्वमवजानीषे दुःखितामवमानिताम्। वृक्षस्यावज्ञया ब्रह्मश्छिद्यन्ते वृक्षजीविनः॥ अवज्ञया च राजर्षिः परिभूय च भार्गव। मय्यवज्ञां प्रयुङ्क्ते हि न च मां बहु मन्यते ॥
