Sanskrit: अज्ञानात्तु हतो यस्मात् क्षत्रियेण त्वया मुनिः। तस्मात् त्वां नाविशत्याशु ब्रह्महत्या नराधिप॥ त्वामप्येतादृशो भावः क्षिप्रमेव गमिष्यति। जीवितान्तकरो घोरो दातारमिव दक्षिणाम्॥
English: As you a Kşatriya has through ignorance slain an ascetic, the sin, O lord of men, of slaying a Brāhmaṇa will not envelope you speedily; but you shall shortly come by this dreadful and mortal condition, like a donor of Dakşiņās (coming by the things given away).'
Sanskrit: एवं शापं मयि न्यस्य विलप्य करुणं बहु। चितामारोप्य देहं तन्मिथुनं स्वर्गमभ्ययात्॥
English: Having thus inflicted on me the curse and piteously lamented long, the coupe ascended the funeral pile and went to heaven.
