Ramayana
शोचन्त्या अल्पभाग्याया न किञ्चिदुपकुर्वता । पुत्रेण किमपुत्राया मया कार्यमरिन्दम ॥ २-५३-२३
My mother has less fortune and more grief like a woman without a son, Oh ! ( Lakshmana ) subduer of enemies, for her, what is the use of a son like me who cannot render any service to her?
english translation
