Sanskrit Text

यथा वेणुः कदली नलो वा; फलन्त्यभावाय भूतयेऽऽत्मनः तथैव मां तैः परिरक्ष्यमाणा;मादास्यसे कर्कटकीव गर्भम्

English Translation

As the bamboo, the reed and the plantain bear fruit only to die and not to grow in size, as a crab conceives only to perish so you will by laying your hands on me who am protected by these powerful heroes.
