Alas, shame on you, you men, who thus return like foolish persons, on hearing the vulture's words, though you are burning with grief on account of the death of this child. You cruel men, how can you go away, renouncing parental affection upon hearing the words of a sinful vulture of impure soul.
अहो धिग् गृध्रवाक्येन यथैवाबुद्धयस्तथा॥ कथं गच्छत निःस्नेहाः सुतस्नेहं विसृज्य च। प्रदीप्ताः पुत्रशोकेन संनिवर्तत मानुषाः॥ श्रुत्वा गृध्रस्य वचनं पापस्येहाकृतात्मनः।
