mannigrahānugrahajā madbhṛtyavapuṣi sthitāḥ |
kaṣanti māmalaṃ cintā gajaṃ harinakhā iva || 27 ||

The thoughts of my rewards and punishments to my dependents, have been incessantly tormenting my heart, as the scratches inflicted by the nails of a lion, are always afflicting to the bruised body of the elephant.
