सा दानि तस्य महिषी मनुजेश्वरस्य माता सवत्सलविशालसुचारुनेत्रा ।
संपश्यमान करुणं प्रियविप्रयोगं निद्राभिभूत न विजानति आलपन्तं ॥ ७४ ॥
sā dāni tasya mahiṣī manujeśvarasya mātā savatsalaviśālasucārunetrā |
saṃpaśyamāna karuṇaṃ priyaviprayogaṃ nidrābhibhūta na vijānati ālapantaṃ || 74 ||
She, the queen, the mother of the Lord of men, she whose eyes are kind, large, and full of tenderness, in spite of the imminence of this cruel separation, hears not my cries, for she is sunk in sleep. (74)
