O king, this is my right hand with nails as bright as the burnished copper. You are nobly born, I ask you, take my hand and raise me up. I know, you are very gentle, very powerful and greatly famous. You should raise me up from this well.
एष मे दक्षिणो राजन् पाणिस्ताननखाङ्गुलिः॥ समुद्धर गृहीत्वा मां कुलीनस्त्वं हि मे मतः। जानामि त्वां हि संशान्तं वीर्यवन्तं यशस्विनम्॥ तस्मान्मां पतितामस्मात् कूपादुद्धर्तुमर्हसि।
