यथा लभित्वा शुभनीलनेत्रा उत्पाटयेय स्वयं बालबुद्धिः ।
तथैव लब्ध्वा मुनिं दक्षिणेयं प्रमादबन्धु जनयसि अप्रसादं ॥ २०० ॥

yathā labhitvā śubhanīlanetrā utpāṭayeya svayaṃ bālabuddhiḥ |
tathaiva labdhvā muniṃ dakṣiṇeyaṃ pramādabandhu janayasi aprasādaṃ || 200 ||

“As a man who, having bright dark-blue eyes, should himself pluck them out, so dost thou, Son of Sloth, having known the Sage who is worthy of offerings, breed distrust of him. (200)
