Sanskrit Text

नास्तिकः सर्वशङ्की मूर्खः पण्डितमानिकः तस्येयं फलनिर्वृत्तिः सृगालत्वं मम द्विज

English Translation

I was an atheist a sceptic, and though really ignorant, proud of my learning. This birth of a jackal that I have got in this life is the outcome, twice-born one, of those sins of mine.
