चिरं रसनया चाहमनया नयहीनया ।
गजगोमायुगुप्तेषु दुःखाद्रिष्वलमाहतः ॥ १९ ॥

ciraṃ rasanayā cāhamanayā nayahīnayā |
gajagomāyugupteṣu duḥkhādriṣvalamāhataḥ || 19 ||

It is on account of this lickerish tongue of mine, that I am forced to seek for my food in these rugged and dreary rocks, which are the haunt of wild elephants, and where the wolves are prying for their forage.
