When through affliction I shall not live after separation, better it is, O Lord, that I die immediately at the time of my being forsaken by you; I cannot bear this grief even for a moment. How shall I be able to live without you for fourteen years?
पश्चादपि हि दुःखेन मम नैवास्ति जीवितम्। उज्झितायास्त्वया नाथ तदैव मरणं वरम्॥ इमं हि सहितुं शोकं मुहुर्तमपि नोत्सहे। किं पुनर्दश वर्षाणि त्रीणि चैकं च दुःखिता॥
