prārthyaṃ cet phalati tadā bhajema
dehaṃ no cen no' ti samayasya yaiva sīmā |
tāsāṃ sā yadi viphalā kva tarhi lajjā
nirvastrā gati-vidhaye himaṃ tu lakṣyam || [praharṣiṇī]

"If what is prayed for bears fruit, then we would keep / our bodies; if not, then not"—if that very boundary of their vow / were to prove futile for them, where then is shame? / Going unclothed was for the sake of their destination, but the cold was the pretext.
