Sanskrit Text

मन्दभाग्योऽल्पभाग्यानां बन्धुः किल नः कुले जरत्कारुरिति ख्यातो वेदवेदाङ्गपारगः नियतात्मा महात्मा सुव्रतः सुमहातपाः

English Translation

We have only one thread (son) now, but it matters little whether he is or he is not. Unfortunate we are! We have a thread in one, known as Jaratkaru, well-read in the Vedas and Vedangas, who has adopted asceticism. He is high-souled, he has his senses under complete control, he is a man of rigid vows, a great ascetic.
