मैत्रेय उवाच
मातुः सपत्न्याः स दुरुक्तिविद्धः
श्वसन्रुषा दण्डहतो यथाहिः ।
हित्वा मिषन्तं पितरं सन्नवाचं
जगाम मातुः प्ररुदन्सकाशम् ॥१४॥

hitvā miṣantaṁ pitaraṁ sanna-vācaṁ
jagāma mātuḥ prarudan sakāśam

WORD BY WORD



TRANSLATION

The sage Maitreya continued: My dear Vidura, as a snake, when struck by a stick, breathes very heavily, Dhruva Mahārāja, having been struck by the strong words of his stepmother, began to breathe very heavily because of great anger. When he saw that his father was silent and did not protest, he immediately left the palace and went to his mother.
