Yaksha Prashna 1.19

1.19 Vaishampayana to Janamejaya

ततस्तामशिवां श्रुत्वा वाचं स परुषाक्षराम् । यक्षस्य ब्रुवतो राजन्नुपक्रम्य तदा स्थितः ॥

tatastāmaśivāṃ śrutvā vācaṃ sa paruṣākṣarām | yakṣasya bruvato rājannupakramya tadā sthitaḥ ||

Then, O king, hearing those ill-omened, harsh-sounding words of the Yaksha as he spoke, he came near and stood there.

तब, हे राजन्, यक्ष के बोले हुए उन अशुभ और कठोर अक्षरों वाले वचनों को सुनकर वे पास जाकर खड़े हो गए।
