2.46.55
ity uktvā vacanaṃ sūtaṃ sāntvayitvā punaḥ punaḥ
guhaṃ vacanam aklībaṃ rāmo hetumad abravīt
jaṭāḥ kṛtvā gamiṣyāmi nyagrodhakṣīram ānaya
Thus spake the prince, and strove to cheer
The sad heart of the charioteer,
And then to royal Guha said
These words most wise and spirited:
'Guha, dear friend, it is not meet
That people throng my calm retreat:
For I must live a strict recluse,
And mould my life by hermits' use.
I now the ancient rule accept
By good ascetics gladly kept.
I go: bring fig-tree juice that I
In matted coils my hair may tie.'
