Verse 64.119
तस्यैव चित्तं अभु वेपमानं एषो न शक्यो मये धर्षणाये ।
लोके भिप्रेतं रतनं ग्रहेत्वा राज्यानपेक्षं जनयित्व छन्दं ॥ ११९ ॥
tasyaiva cittaṃ abhu vepamānaṃ eṣo na śakyo maye dharṣaṇāye |
loke bhipretaṃ ratanaṃ grahetvā rājyānapekṣaṃ janayitva chandaṃ || 119 ||
Thus did he reflect in his wavering heart: “He cannot be defeated by me, for he has brought into the world the priceless jewel and has begotten a disposition that makes him indifferent to a kingdom.” (119)
