yathā yathā vidadhur atīva śīghratāṃ
tathā tathāpy adadhur alaṃ vilambitām |
kathaṃ kathañcana bata taṃ hradaṃ gatā
daśāṃ tu kāṃ samadhur amī na vedmi tām || [rucirā]

The faster they hurried on,
the more their feet lagged behind.
Alas, reaching that pool somehow or other,
what condition they fell into, I cannot tell!
