सुधन्वोवाच । पितरं ते गमिष्यावः प्राणयोर्विपणे कृते । पुत्रस्यापि स हेतोर्हि प्रह्रादो नानृतं वदेत्॥५-३५-१६॥
Sudhanvan said: “We shall go to your father, since a wager has been made upon our lives. For that very reason, Prahrāda—even for his son’s sake—will not speak untruth.”
english translation
प्रह्राद उवाच । इमौ तौ संप्रदृश्येते याभ्यां न चरितं सह । आशीविषाविव क्रुद्धावेकमार्गमिहागतौ॥५-३५-१७॥
Prahrāda said: “These two appear before me—those who have not previously moved together—like two enraged serpents, arriving here by the same path.”
english translation
किं वै सहैव चरतो न पुरा चरतः सह । विरोचनैतत्पृच्छामि किं ते सख्यं सुधन्वना॥५-३५-१८॥
“Why do you move together now, though you did not formerly move together? Virocana, I ask you this: what association do you have with Sudhanvan?”
english translation
विरोचन उवाच । न मे सुधन्वना सख्यं प्राणयोर्विपणावहे । प्रह्राद तत्त्वां पृच्छामि मा प्रश्नमनृतं वदीः॥५-३५-१९॥
Virocana said: “I have no friendship with Sudhanvan in this matter where our lives are at stake. Prahrāda, I ask you truly—do not answer this question with untruth.”
english translation
प्रह्राद उवाच । उदकं मधुपर्कं चाप्यानयन्तु सुधन्वने । ब्रह्मन्नभ्यर्चनीयोऽसि श्वेता गौः पीवरीकृता॥५-३५-२०॥
Prahrāda said: “Bring water and madhuparka as well for Sudhanvan. O brāhmaṇa, you are worthy of honor; let a well-nourished white cow be offered.”
