labdho 'si katibhiḥ kaṣṭhair iṣṭā saṃprārthya devatāḥ
yadā yadā bahir yāsi raṃtuṃ tricaturaṃ padam
tadā tadā mama prāṇas tāta tvām upagacchati //

Through how many hardships were you obtained by praying to cherished deities! / Whenever you go outside to play even three or four paces, / then, dear child, my very life-breath follows after you.
