Mitra-samprāpti2.87–2.89
Mitra-samprāpti2.87

Sanskrit · 2.87

छित्त्वा पाशम् अपास्य कूट-रचनां भङ्क्त्वा बलाद् वागुरां पर्यन्ताग्नि-शिखा-कलाप-जटिलान् निर्गत्य दूरं वनात् । व्याधानां शर-गोचराद् अपि जवेनोत्पत्य धावन् मृगः कूपान्तः-पतितः करोतु विधुरे किं वा विधौ पौरुषम् ॥

English · Meaning

Having cut the noose, cast aside the trap-contrivance, and forcibly broken the hunting net, the deer—having gone out far from the forest, with paryantāgni-śikhā-kalāpa-jaṭilān, “tangled with clusters of flames of the perimeter-fire,” preserved as a syntactically uncertain transmitted accusative plural—and, running, having swiftly leapt even beyond the range of the hunters’ arrows, has fallen into a well. What can human prowess do when fate is adverse?

यद् उत्साही सदा मर्त्यः पराभवति यज् जनान् । यद् उद्धतं वदेद् वाक्यं तत् सर्वं वित्तजं बलम् ॥

Sanskrit · 2.p01219

अथाहं तच् छ्रुत्वा कोपाविष्टो भिक्षा-पात्रम् उद्दिश्य विशेषाद् उत्कूर्दितो ऽप्राप्त एव भूमौ निपतितः । तच् छ्रूत्वासौ मे शत्रुर् विहस्य ताम्रचूडम् उवाच-भोः ! पश्य पश्य कौतूहलम् । आह च-

English · Meaning

Then, having heard that, I became overcome with anger and, aiming at the alms bowl, leapt especially but fell to the ground before reaching it. Hearing that, my enemy laughed and said to Copper-crest: “Ho! Look, look at the spectacle!” And he said:

Mitra-samprāpti2.89
