Verse 50.10
असंस्तुतं मे चिरसंस्तुतेन ।
न निर्मिणेया ध्रुवम् अध्रुवेण ।
इतो प्य् अहं दूरतरं गमिष्यं ।
ममापि सा अन्यं न निर्मिणेय ॥ १० ॥
asaṃstutaṃ me cirasaṃstutena |
na nirmiṇeyā dhruvam adhruveṇa |
ito py ahaṃ dūrataraṃ gamiṣyaṃ |
mamāpi sā anyaṃ na nirmiṇeya || 10 ||
She should not take me whom she does not know in exchange for one she knew for so long, an inconstant man in exchange for a constant one. I will go still farther away from here lest she take another in exchange for me. (10)
