I have lost my three legs and am now standing on one only. Are you lamenting for my state of existence? Or are you in great anxiety because henceforward the unlawful meat-eaters will exploit you?

Or are you grieving for living beings because of their sufferings due to famine and drought?

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

कहीं तुम मेरी तो चिन्ता नहीं कर रही हो कि अब इसके तीन पैर टूट गये, एक ही पैर रह गया है? सम्भव है, तुम अपने लिये शोक कर रही हो कि अब शूद्र तुम्हारे ऊपर शासन करेंगे। तुम्हें इन देवताओंके लिये भी खेद हो सकता है, जिन्हें अब यज्ञोंमें आहुति नहीं दी जाती, अथवा उस प्रजाके लिये भी, जो वर्षा न होनेके कारण अकाल एवं दुर्भिक्षसे पीड़ित हो रही है॥ २०॥
