The grief of one who has lost all his wealth, of one who has lost a son, of one who is in debt, of one who is separated from his companions, of a woman who has lost her husband, of one who has lost all in consequence of the king's demand, of a woman who is sterile, of one who is being devoured by a tiger, of one who is a co-wife, and of one who has been deprived of his property by false witnesses, is said by the celestial to be uniform in degree.
हृतस्वस्य हि यद् दुःखं हतपुत्रस्य चैव यत्। ऋणिनः प्रति यच्चैव स्वार्थाद् भ्रष्टस्य चैव यत्॥ स्त्रियाः पत्या विहीनाया राज्ञा ग्रस्तस्य चैव यत्। अपुत्रायाश्च यद् दुःखं व्याघ्राघातस्य चैव यत्॥ अध्यूढायाश्च यद् दुःखं साक्षिभिर्विहतस्य च। एतानि वै समान्याहुर्दुःखानि त्रिदिवेश्वराः॥
