My heart is aching. It has become the seat of a great sorrow. Who is there who will save me from this ocean of grief in which I am sunk for the loss I have suffered? Who is there who will bring me the Vedas I have lost? Who is there who will take mercy on me?
प्राप्तं दुनोति हृदयं तीव्र शोकपरायणम्। को हि शोकार्णवे मग्नं मामितोऽद्य समुद्धरेत्॥ वेदांस्तांश्चानयेन्नष्टान् कस्य चाहं प्रियो भवे।
