Verse 76.118
कुतस् त्वम् आगच्छसि रक्तचीवर केन त्वम् अर्थेन इहानुप्राप्तो ।
किं वात्र आकांक्षसि त्वं उडायि सुदुल्लभं सिद्धव्रतान दर्शनं ॥ ११८ ॥
kutas tvam āgacchasi raktacīvara kena tvam arthena ihānuprāpto |
kiṃ vātra ākāṃkṣasi tvaṃ uḍāyi sudullabhaṃ siddhavratāna darśanaṃ || 118 ||
“Whence do you come garbed in a robe of red? On what mission have you come hither? And what, Udayin, do you desire here? Rare is the sight of those who have their vows fulfilled.” (118)
