मृतेश्वराश्वस्तनिजात्मजास्मि दुर्देशयातास्मि च दुर्गताऽस्मि ।
दुर्जातिजातास्मि महापदेऽस्मि साक्षाद्भयं भोऽस्मि महापदस्मि ॥ २३ ॥

mṛteśvarāśvastanijātmajāsmi durdeśayātāsmi ca durgatā'smi |
durjātijātāsmi mahāpade'smi sākṣādbhayaṃ bho'smi mahāpadasmi || 23 ||

Now grown husbandless, and having of late lost my daughter also, and being thrown in a distant and barren land, I am become the most miserable and wretched of beings. Born of a low caste, I am cast out of all prospect in life, and have become a personification of terror to myself, and a sight of horror to others.
