शश्वद्धर्मात्मना जातो बाल एव पिता मम।
जीवितान्तमनुप्राप्त: कामात्मैवेति न: श्रुतम्॥ ३॥
अनुवाद
हमने सुना है कि महाराज शान्तनु के यहाँ उत्पन्न मेरे पिता विचित्रवीर्य, जो सदैव धर्म में तत्पर रहते थे, भी विषय-भोगों में मन लगे रहने के कारण अल्पायु में ही मर गए थे ॥3॥
We have heard that my father Vichitravirya, who was born to Maharaja Shantanu, who was always devoted to religion, also died at a young age due to his mind being engrossed in sensual pleasures. ॥ 3॥
