Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
प्रति॑ ब्रवाणि व॒र्तय॑ते॒ अश्रु॑ च॒क्रन्न क्र॑न्ददा॒ध्ये॑ शि॒वायै॑ । प्र तत्ते॑ हिनवा॒ यत्ते॑ अ॒स्मे परे॒ह्यस्तं॑ न॒हि मू॑र॒ माप॑: ॥
प्रति ब्रवाणि वर्तयते अश्रु चक्रन्न क्रन्ददाध्ये शिवायै । प्र तत्ते हिनवा यत्ते अस्मे परेह्यस्तं नहि मूर मापः ॥
prati bravāṇi vartayate aśru cakran na krandad ādhye śivāyai | pra tat te hinavā yat te asme parehy astaṃ nahi mūra māpaḥ ||
English translation:
“(Ūrvaśī). Let me reply. (Your son) will shed tears, crying out and calling aloud when the expectedauspicious time arrives; I will send you that (child) which is yours in me, depart to your house, you cannot,simpleton, detain me.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Auspicious time: adhye = adhyate vastūni, the expected thing; adhye śivayai: let meforbid him as he sheds tears (i.e., I will forbid him to shed tears); calling out he shall not weep for the fortunatesolicitude (of his father). Purūravā seems to urge as an argument for Ūrvaśī's return that the son expectedto be born (or, already born?) will long for his father, and, if separated from him, will weep, to which Ūrvaśīrepies that the son will not weep because she will send him to Purūravā; which is yours in me: i.e., which youhave plural ced in my womb
