स्थिरं हि नूनं हृदयं ममायसं न भिद्यते यद्भुवि नावदीर्यते | अनेन दुःखेन च देहमर्पितं ध्रुवं ह्यकाले मरणं न विद्यते || २-२०-५१

Surely my still (hard) heart is made of iron. It neither bursts nor breaks down on the ground. Pervaded by grief, there is no untimely death for this my body, too. [2-20-51]

My regret is that all my mortifications, gifts of charity and penances are of no avail. Even the asceticism which I practised for the sake of progeny was fruitless like a seed sown in a barren land. [2-20-52]
