तव प्रवादेन हि त्यागशूर दूरतो श्रुत्वा इह आगतो स्मि ।
मनोरथाशाबलवृंहिता मे आशा निराशा कृत दर्शनेन ॥ ६ ॥
tava pravādena hi tyāgaśūra dūrato śrutvā iha āgato smi |
manorathāśābalavṛṃhitā me āśā nirāśā kṛta darśanena || 6 ||
You valiant man in self-denial, hearing of your repute I have come hither from afar. My desires were fortified by the force of hope. But now, from what I see, my hope has been turned to despair. (6)
