Why do you, O king, tempt me thus, me who have for a long time followed duty of abstention? I shall myself do what my duty is. I do not wish to participate in the rewards acquired by you, O king. I am given too penances and to the study of the Vedas, and I have abstained from acceptance.
निवृत्तं मां चिराद्राजन् विप्रलोभयसे कथम्। स्वेन कार्यं करिष्यामि त्वत्तो नेच्छे फलं नृप। तप:स्वाध्यायशीलोऽहं निवृत्तश्च प्रतिग्रहात्॥
