by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words

This edition only includes those metrical verses occuring in the various stories and Jatakas, as well as the corresponding English translation by J. J. Jones.
Verse 65.70
सो दासताम् उपगतो प्रमदाजनस्य ऐश्वर्यतां वदसि पश्य यथासि मूढो ।
कामातुरस्य हि न विद्यति ईश्वरत्वं नाभू न चापि भविता इति निश्चितं मे ॥ ७० ॥
so dāsatām upagato pramadājanasya aiśvaryatāṃ vadasi paśya yathāsi mūḍho |
kāmāturasya hi na vidyati īśvaratvaṃ nābhū na cāpi bhavitā iti niścitaṃ me || 70 ||
“Thou who art fallen under the thraldom of women vauntest thy sovereignty. Behold how thou art deluded. There is no sovereignty for him who is afflicted by sensual desires. There neither has been nor will be. Of this I am certain. (70)
