Satyavana said : I have a headache on account of this exercise. And, O Savitri, my limbs and heart are aching. O lady of restrained speech, I feel unwell. It seems (to me) that my head is being pierced by arrows. Therefore, O blessed lady, I feel inclined to sleep; for I am quite unable to stand.
सत्यावानुवाच व्यायामेन ममानेन जाता शिरसि वेदना॥ अङ्गानि चैव सावित्रि हृदयं दूयतीव च। अस्वस्थमिव चात्मानं लक्षये मितभाषिणी॥ शूलैरिव शिरो विद्धमिदं संलक्षयाम्यहम्। तत् खप्तुमिच्छे कल्याणि न स्थातुं शक्तिरस्ति मे॥
