सो ऽबिभेत् तस्माद् एकाकी बिभेति । स हायम् ईक्षां चक्रे, यन् मद् अन्यन् नास्ति कस्मान् नु बिभेमीति । तत एवास्य भयं वीयाय । कस्माद् ध्य् अभेष्यत् । द्वितीयाद् वै भयं भवति

so 'bibhet tasmād ekākī bibheti | sa hāyam īkṣāṃ cakre, yan mad anyan nāsti kasmān nu bibhemīti | tata evāsya bhayaṃ vīyāya | kasmād dhy abheṣyat | dvitīyād vai bhayaṃ bhavati
