अथवा भवान्तरे किं मया कृतं शीलखण्डनं बहुशः ?।
यदिदं दुःखं तस्माद् , विना न संभवति जीवानाम् ॥ २१ ॥ यतः-कुरंद-रंउत्तण-दुष्मागाइ, बंज्झत्त-निंदू-विसकन्नगाई ॥
लहांत जम्मंतर भग्गसीला, नाऊण कुन्जा दढसोलभावं ॥ २२ ॥

visakannagai; Jammantare khandia sîlabhāvā, ažūņa kujjā dadha sila bhavam. 22.

एवं चिन्ताऽऽक्रान्ता, ध्यायन्ती म्लानकमलसमवदना । दृष्टा शिष्टेन सखी-जनेन तत्कारणं पृष्टा ॥ २३ ॥ मोवाच साश्रुलोचन-रचना नि:-श्वासकलितवचनेन । किं मन्दामागधेया बदामि ? यज्जीवितं मेऽगात् ॥ २४ ॥ Ēvam cintākrāntā dhayāyantî mlánakamala -sama-radanā, Drista śiştena sakhi-jnéna, tatkāraṇam prişță.
