लोमश उवाच
भरद्वाजस् तु शूद्रस्य तच् छ्रुत्वा विप्रियं वचः ॥
गतासुं पुत्रम् आदाय विललाप सुदुःखितः ॥

अनागाः सर्वभूतेषु कर्कशत्वम् उपेयिवान् ॥
प्रतिषिद्धो मया तात रैभ्यावसथदर्शनात् ॥
गतवान् एव तं क्षुद्रं कालान्तकयमोपमम् ॥
यः स जानन् महातेजा वृद्धस्यैकं ममात्मजम् ॥
गतवान् एव कोपस्य वशं परमदुर्मतिः ॥
पुत्रशोकम् अनुप्राप्य एष रैभ्यस्य कर्मणा ॥
त्यक्ष्यामि त्वाम् ऋते पुत्र प्राणान् इष्टतमान् भुवि ॥
यथाहं पुत्रशोकेन देहं त्यक्ष्यामि किल्बिषी ॥
तथा ज्येष्ठः सुतो रैभ्यं हिंस्याच् छीघ्रम् अनागसम् ॥
सुखिनो वै नरा येषां जात्या पुत्रो न विद्यते ॥

अनुवाद

Hearing this unpleasant word from the shudra, Bharadvaja took up his lifeless son and began to grieve, deeply wretched: "Was it not for the sake of brahmanas that you performed austerity, so that the Vedas would appear to the twice-born even without study? You were of good disposition toward the great-souled brahmanas, but, though blameless before all beings, you became harsh. I forbade you, child, to see Raibhya's dwelling; but you went there anyway, to that base one, resembling Time, the Ender, and Yama. He, great in splendor, knew that you were the old man's only son, yet even so, this evil-minded one, fell under the sway of anger. Having received a son's grief because of Raibhya's deed, I shall give up my breath of life, most beloved on this earth, not surviving you, my son. As I, sinful, shall give up my body from grief for my son, so let Raibhya's eldest son swiftly slay the blameless Raibhya. Happy are the men who by birth have no son: not receiving a son's grief, they wander as they please. But those who, from the grief caused by a son, become deeply confused in mind and, in anguish, curse their beloved friends — who could be more sinful than they? I saw my lifeless son and cursed my own beloved friend. Who else would ever undergo such a calamity?"

भाष्य

Bharadvaja himself sees the terrible weight of his own curse. Grief does not make a word harmless: even the pain of a holy man, once it turns into a curse, sets loose a new chain of suffering.
