43. *vilalāpa sa bāṣpagadgadaṃ sahajāmapyapahāya dhīratāṃ* ।
*abhitaptamayopi mārdavaṃ bhajati kā hi kathā śarīriṣu.* ॥
"He lost his natural self-control,
And, with tears welling up, was sobbing violently,
His voice was choked;
Even iron, when it is heated, becomes soft;
What to talk of animals that are corporeal beings."
