Verse 76.156
सो दानि शाणानि च पट्टकानि च रक्तानि वस्त्राणि द्रुमत्वचानि ।
धारेसि तं च अजुगुप्समानो इदं पि ते आश्चरियं भदन्त ॥ १५६ ॥
so dāni śāṇāni ca paṭṭakāni ca raktāni vastrāṇi drumatvacāni |
dhāresi taṃ ca ajugupsamāno idaṃ pi te āścariyaṃ bhadanta || 156 ||
But now thou dost wear sackcloth and garments made of strips of red bark, and dost not abhor them.’Tis passing strange that this should be so, Sir.” (156)
