Verse 48.11
अथ राहुलस्य इदम् अब्रवीत् पि मैत्रोत्तरेण मदनेन निबद्धचित्ता ।
देव शृणोहि यथ अद्य मयापि दृष्टं सुपिनं मनोरमं फलं च मे तद् भवेयात् ॥ ११ ॥
atha rāhulasya idam abravīt pi maitrottareṇa madanena nibaddhacittā |
deva śṛṇohi yatha adya mayāpi dṛṣṭaṃ supinaṃ manoramaṃ phalaṃ ca me tad bhaveyāt || 11 ||
Then Rahula’s mother, with her heart bound in a passion that was greater than friendship, said, “My lord, hear how I, too, saw a charming vision to-day, and may its realisation also be so to me. (11)
