सुदुष्करं नाग मया कृतं ते ।
दुःखासि त्वं बन्धनाद् असि मुक्तः ।
जातो च लोके न कृतानि जानति ।
मा खुस्स मे नाग कृतं न जाने ॥ १८ ॥

suduṣkaraṃ nāga mayā kṛtaṃ te |
duḥkhāsi tvaṃ bandhanād asi muktaḥ |
jāto ca loke na kṛtāni jānati |
mā khussa me nāga kṛtaṃ na jāne || 18 ||

What I did for you, O Naga, was a difficult thing to do. You were in trouble. Now you are free from bondage. The sons of this world are ungrateful for what is done for them. But do not you, O Naga, be forgetful of what I have done. (18)
