4.12

asyā vilokya manye putrasnehena viklavatvamidam /
akaruṇahṛdayaḥ karuṇāṃ kurvīta bhujaṅgaśatrurapi //

Jímútaváhana (with tears).
Alas! the love of offspring! I should think that after seeing this sorrow of hers, arising from affection for her son, even the enemy of the Nágas, whose heart is pitiless, will feel pity.

Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World
