यदि शिष्यप्रतोदम् इदं न भवेत् ।
यदि राजकुलस्य भयं न भवेत् ।
यदि सर्वभयं त्रिभवे न भवेत् ।
अभिनिष्क्रमणे ममतो न रतिः ॥ ३९ ॥

yadi rājakulasya bhayaṃ na bhavet |
yadi sarvabhayaṃ tribhave na bhavet |
abhiniṣkramaṇe mamato na ratiḥ || 39 ||

If there were none of this spur to learn; if there were no fear in the royal palace; if there were not all this fear in the three worlds, then would I have no pleasure in leaving home. (39)
