तृप्तिर्न ते ऽस्ति सूक्ष्मा ऽपि वने सत्वनिषेविते । पुरा तु भिक्षमाणाय भिक्षा वै यतये नृप । न हि दत्ता त्वयेन्द्राभ यस्मादतिथये ऽपि वै ॥ 7-78-16 ॥
There is not even the slightest satisfaction for you in this forest haunted by wild beasts. For in former times, O king, when an ascetic came to you begging for alms, you gave him nothing; and because of that, O Indra-like one, you gave nothing even to a guest.
english translation
दत्तं न ते ऽस्ति सूक्ष्मो ऽपि तप एव निषेवसे । तेन स्वर्गगतो वत्स बाध्यसे क्षुत्पिपासया ॥ 7-78-17 ॥
You bestowed nothing in charity, nor did you practice even the slightest austerity; through that, my child, having gone to heaven, you are now tormented by hunger and thirst.
english translation
स त्वं सुपुष्टमाहारैः स्वशरीरमनुत्तमम् । भक्षयित्वामृतरसं तेन तृप्तिर्भविष्यति ॥ 7-78-18 ॥
Therefore, when you have eaten your own most excellent body, which is well nourished by foods and has the flavor of nectar, by that means satisfaction shall come to you.
english translation
यदा तु तद्वनं श्वेत अगस्त्यः सुमहानृषिः । आगमिष्यति दुर्धर्षस्तदा कृच्छ्राद्विमोक्ष्यते ॥ 7-78-19 ॥
But when the great and unassailable sage Agastya shall come to that forest, O Shveta, then you shall be released from this torment-
english translation
स हि तारयितुं सौम्य शक्तः सुरगणानपि । किं पुनस्त्वां महाबाहो क्षुत्पिपासावशं गतम् ॥ 7-78-20 ॥
For he, O gentle one, is able to deliver even the hosts of the gods; how much more you, O mighty-armed one, who have fallen under the sway of hunger and thirst.
