{prasthānaṃ valayaiḥ kṛtaṃ priyasakhairasrairajasraṃ gataṃ
dhṛtyā na kṣaṇamāsitaṃ vyavasitaṃ cittena gantuṃ puraḥ /
yātuṃ niścitacetasi priyatame sarve samaṃ prasthitā
gantavye sati jīvita priyasuhṛtsārthaḥ kimu tyajyate //35//}
(Amaruśataka 35)

“Departure was made by the bracelets, departure in an unending stream by the tears—her dear friends;
steadiness stayed not a single moment; the mind resolved to go in advance;
when the dearest lover resolved upon departure, all departed together;
if departure is inevitable, O life, why is the company of dear friends abandoned?” (Amaruśataka 35)
