अन्धकूप इवापन्नः शिलान्तरिव योजितः ।
स्वयं जडीभवद्वर्णो विनिकृत्त इवाशये ॥ ४४ ॥

andhakūpa ivāpannaḥ śilāntariva yojitaḥ |
svayaṃ jaḍībhavadvarṇo vinikṛtta ivāśaye || 44 ||

Now he thinks as falling in a dark pit, and then as lying in the cavern of a hill; he wants to tell aloud his torments, but his speech fails him to give utterance to his thoughts.
