Verse 5.58.16

किमार्तं पीडयाम्येनं तिलान्यन्त्रमिवौजसा ।
सर्वेषामेव भूतानां ममेवार्तिः प्रजायते ॥ १६ ॥

kimārtaṃ pīḍayāmyenaṃ tilānyantramivaujasā |
sarveṣāmeva bhūtānāṃ mamevārtiḥ prajāyate || 16 ||

"Why do I perforce pierce the hearts of my people," he said, as they bruise the sesamum seeds for oil; it is plain that all persons are susceptible of pain and affliction like myself?
