¤èvargy: dìsfa azda qurmaa / तथापि सासहि न हि मुधा सर्वज्ञवादिनम् ॥ १८ ॥
Pilyatastilah kaścit dalata sca yathā kaṇah; Südayatastriņam kimcidagastéh pibatah sarah,
Mardayatastusah ko'pi tadvadéṣa mamābhavat; Tathāpi sāsahi-na hi mudha sarvajnavādinam
17-18. Just as, while crushing, some seed of sesamum remained uncrushed; while pounding, some grain of corn remained unpounded; while removing grass completely, some grass remained unremoved; when Agastya (name of a Vèdic sage) drank the whole ocean, some pool remained undrunk, when grinding, some chaft remained unground. So, it really happened with me. However, I cannot uselessly put up with the sarvajna controversialist Because,
एकास्मिनजिते प्रस्मिन् सर्वमप्यजितं भवेत् ।
एकदा हि सती लुप्त-शीला स्यादसती सदा ॥ १९ ॥
Ekāsminnajite hyasmin sarvamapyajitam bhavét Ekadā he sati lupta-silā syādastî sadā.
fasi ta faanfa ucaì fàftià qui ard: i fagzzzeneanfaz ingaìsat feat art || 20 ||
20. Citram caiva trijagati sahasro nirjité mayā vādaih; Kispracatasthälyāmiva kaňkatuko' sau sthito vādi

19. If this one is not won over, everything else becomes unconquered; because if a chaste woman becomes deprived of her chastity only once, she always becomes unchaste.

20 It is really strange that in the three worlds, thousands have been won over by me by discussions, this controversialist has remained like a grain of corn resisting fire in a cooking dtsh of easily-prepared food.
