Verse 76.129
यस्यान्तिके प्रव्रजितो स्मि राज श्रद्धाय सो चरति ब्रह्मचर्यं ।
न सो भीतो नापि भयं उपेति एको पि सो रमति वृक्षमूले ॥ १२९ ॥
yasyāntike pravrajito smi rāja śraddhāya so carati brahmacaryaṃ |
na so bhīto nāpi bhayaṃ upeti eko pi so ramati vṛkṣamūle || 129 ||
“O king, he with whom I live as a recluse lives the brahma-life in faith. He is not afraid nor knows what fear is, but is content in his solitude at the foot of the tree. (129)
