भव्येन धार्मिकेन विहीनं ऋषिणा उदारेण ॥ ८४ ॥
śūnyam imam āśramapadaṃ khyāyati bhayabhairavaṃ anabhiramyaṃ |
bhavyena dhārmikena vihīnaṃ ṛṣiṇā udāreṇa || 84 ||
“Now I know that this hermitage is empty, frightful, fearful and without joy, bereft as it is of him who was good and righteous, the noble seer. (84)
