Sanskrit Original

सुनु नृप बिबिध जतन जग माहीं। कष्टसाध्य पुनि होहिं कि नाहीं।। अहइ एक अति सुगम उपाई। तहाँ परंतु एक कठिनाई।। मम आधीन जुगुति नृप सोई। मोर जाब तव नगर न होई।। आजु लगें अरु जब तें भयऊँ। काहू के गृह ग्राम न गयऊँ।। जौं न जाउँ तव होइ अकाजू। बना आइ असमंजस आजू।। सुनि महीस बोलेउ मृदु बानी। नाथ निगम असि नीति बखानी।। बड़े सनेह लघुन्ह पर करहीं। गिरि निज सिरनि सदा तृन धरहीं।। जलधि अगाध मौलि बह फेनू। संतत धरनि धरत सिर रेनू।।

sunu nṛpa bibidha jatana jaga māhīṃ. kaṣṭasādhya puni hōhiṃ ki nāhīṃ.. ahai ēka ati sugama upāī. tahāom paraṃtu ēka kaṭhināī.. mama ādhīna juguti nṛpa sōī. mōra jāba tava nagara na hōī.. āju lagēṃ aru jaba tēṃ bhayaūom. kāhū kē gṛha grāma na gayaūom.. jauṃ na jāu tava hōi akājū. banā āi asamaṃjasa ājū.. suni mahīsa bōlēu mṛdu bānī. nātha nigama asi nīti bakhānī.. baḍaē sanēha laghunha para karahīṃ. giri nija sirani sadā tṛna dharahīṃ.. jaladhi agādha mauli baha phēnū. saṃtata dharani dharata sira rēnū..

Listen, O king: there are various expedients in this world. But they are hard to accomplish and are of doubtful issue besides. Of course, there is one very simple device; but that too involves one difficulty. Its contrivance depends on me; but my going to your city is out of the question. Ever since I was born I have never been to anybody's house or village so far. And if I do not go, it will be a misfortune for you. I am therefore in a dilemma today." Hearing this, the king replied in a polite language, "My lord, there is a maxim laid down in the Vedas: the great show kindness to the small. Mountains always bear tiny blades of grass on their tops, the fathomless ocean carries floating foam on its breast and the earth ever bears dust on its bosom."
