Durga Saptashati — Chapter 1, Verse 16

Madhu-Kaitabha Vadha

सञ्चितः सोऽतिदुःखेन क्षयं कोशो गमिष्यति । एतच्चान्यच्च सततं चिन्तयामास पार्थिवः ॥ १६ ॥

sañchitaḥ so’tiduḥkhena kṣhayaṁ kośho gamiṣhyati etachchānyachcha satataṁ chintayāmāsa pārthivaḥ

Translation

the treasury I gathered with such effort will be exhausted." These and other thoughts the king turned over constantly.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

बड़े कष्ट से जोड़ा गया मेरा वह खजाना खाली हो जाएगा।" राजा निरंतर इन और ऐसी ही अन्य बातों की चिंता करते रहे।

Commentary

"These and other thoughts, constantly": the mind goes in circles. Suratha has left his kingdom but carried it with him into the forest.
