4.1.2

atha ha haṃsā niśāyām atipetuḥ \
tad dhaivaṃ haṃso haṃsam abhyuvāda \
ho ho ayi bhallākṣa bhallākṣa jānaśruteḥ pautrāyaṇasya samaṃ divā jyotir ātataṃ tan mā prasāṅkṣīs tat tvāṃ mā pradhākṣīr iti \\401.2\

2. Now then, one time swans flew past in the night, and one swan spoke to another thus: ‘Hey! Ho! Short-sight! Short-sight! The light of Jānaśruti, the great-grandson [of Janaśruta], has spread like the sky. Do not touch it, lest it burn you up!’
