नियच्छ वाष्पं भव तुष्टमानसो न संवदत्यश्रु च तच्च कर्म ते ॥ ३३ ॥
anāryamasnidghamamitrakarma me nṛśaṃsa kṛtvā kimihādya rodiṣi |
niyaccha vāṣpaṃ bhava tuṣṭamānaso na saṃvadatyaśru ca tacca karma te || 33 ||
'Why dost thou weep to-day, O cruel one, having done a dishonourable, pitiless, and unfriendly deed to me? Cease thy tears and be content in thy heart,—tears and that deed of thine ill agree.
