तन्मा कृथाः शोकमुपेहि शान्तिं मा भून्महिम्ना तव मार मानः ।
विश्रम्भितुं न क्षममध्रुवा श्रीश्चले पदे किं पदमभ्युपैषि ॥ ६९ ॥

tanmā kṛthāḥ śokamupehi śāntiṃ mā bhūnmahimnā tava māra mānaḥ |
viśrambhituṃ na kṣamamadhruvā śrīścale pade kiṃ padamabhyupaiṣi || 69 ||

'Give not way, then, to grief but put on calm; let not thy greatness, O Mara, be mixed with pride; it is not well to be confident,—fortune is unstable,—why dost thou accept a position on a tottering base?'
