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?
