Verse 54.15
विक्रमाहि शिरिप्रभा विक्रमाहि मृगाधिप ।
पुरा सो लुब्धको एति येन सो पाशो ओड्डितो ।
छिन्दे वारत्रकं पाशं न रमिष्यं त्वया विना ॥ १५ ॥
vikramāhi śiriprabhā vikramāhi mṛgādhipa |
purā so lubdhako eti yena so pāśo oḍḍito |
chinde vāratrakaṃ pāśaṃ na ramiṣyaṃ tvayā vinā || 15 ||
Make valiant effort to escape, O Shiriprabha, make a valiant effort, O king of deer, before that hunter comes who set the snare. Rend these snares of leather. I shall have no joy apart from you. (15)
