श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे राजा परिवृत्ताक्षितारकः ।
बभूवैकतनुप्राणशेषः शुष्कसिताधरः ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
etasminnantare rājā parivṛttākṣitārakaḥ |
babhūvaikatanuprāṇaśeṣaḥ śuṣkasitādharaḥ || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—In the meantime the eye-balls of the king became convoluted, and his lips and cheeks grew pale and dry, with his whole countenance; and there remained only the slender breath of life in him.
