Verse 86.16
सचेद् अस्ति ऊनं कामेहि वयन् ते पूरयामथ ।
को वा भवन्तं हेठेति वयन् ते धारयामथ ।
भवां पिता वयं पुत्रो मा गोविन्द प्रव्रजाहि ॥ १६ ॥
saced asti ūnaṃ kāmehi vayan te pūrayāmatha |
ko vā bhavantaṃ heṭheti vayan te dhārayāmatha |
bhavāṃ pitā vayaṃ putro mā govinda pravrajāhi || 16 ||
If aught is lacking to your pleasures, I will make it good. If there be a man who molests you, then will I support you. You, my lord, are my father, and I your son. Do not, Govinda, go forth. (16)
