न ध्यातं पदमीश्वरस्य विधिवत्संसारविच्छित्तये स्वर्गद्वारकपाटपाटनपटुर्धर्मोऽपि नोपार्जितः । नारीपीनपयोधरोरुयुगलं स्वप्नेऽपि नालिङ्गितं मातुः केवलमेव यौवनवनच्छेदे कुठारा वयम् ॥१॥

sanskrit

Neither did I meditate on the feet of God systematically to be free from this world, nor did I acquire the religion capable of opening the doors of heaven, nor did I embrace any woman even in my dreams. I have only become the ax to cut the tree of my mother's youth, that is, it was useless for my mother to give birth to such people who neither followed the dharma of celibacy, nor the dharma of the householder, nor did any good deeds to improve the afterlife earned.

sanskrit

Who did not become arrogant after getting money? Which subject's misfortune was destroyed? Whose mind on earth has not been captivated by women? Who was always the king's favorite character? Who conquered time? Which beggar attained Guruta and who attained happiness by attaining the bad qualities of the wicked?
