Discussion with Gagadhara Agnibhûti
तं च मत्रजितं श्रुत्वा दध्यौ तद् बान्धवोऽपरः । अपि जातु वेदद्रिर्हिमानी मध्यदपि ॥ १ ॥
वह्निः शीत, स्विगे वायु, संभवेन तु बांधवः । हारयेदिति पच्छ लोकानश्रद्दधद् भृशम् ॥ २ ॥
ततश्च निश्वये जाते, चिंतयामास चेतसि । गत्वा जित्वा च तं धूर्त वालयामि सहोदरम् ॥ ३ ॥
सोप्येवमागतः शीघ्रं प्रभुणाssभाषितस्तथा । संदेहं तस्य चित्तस्थं व्यक्तीकृत्यावदद्विभुः ॥ ४ ॥
हे गौतमानिभूते ! कः, संदेहस्तव कर्मणा ।
कथं वा वेदतत्त्वार्थ विभावयसि न स्फुटम् ।। ५ ॥
