Awakening after the dream that foremost of kings, moved by pity towards the deer, thus spoke to his brothers assembled there. "Those deer that are still alive after the rest have been slaughtered all appeared before me last night and said "we remain as the seed of our species. Be blessed. Have compassion on us."
इत्येवं प्रतिबुद्धः स रात्र्यन्ते राजसत्तमः। अब्रवीत् सहितान् भ्रातॄन् दयापन्नो मृगान् प्रति॥ ते उक्तो रात्रौ मृगैरस्मि स्वप्नान्ते हतशेषितैः। तन्तुभूताः स्म भद्रं ते दया नः क्रियतामिति॥
