Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 16
इति संचिन्त्य संजीवकं तत्र परित्यज्य
वर्धमानः पुनः स्वयं धर्मपुरं नाम नगरं गत्वा महाकायमन्यं
वृषभमेकं समानीय धुरि नियोज्य चलितः । ततः संजीवकोऽपि
कथं कथमपि खुरत्रये भरं कृत्वोत्थितः । यतः ।
निमग्नस्य पयोराशौ पर्वतात्पतितस्य च ।
तक्षकेणापि दष्टस्य आयुर्मर्माणि रक्षति ॥
Having thus reflected and left Samjivaka there, Vardhamana himself went back to a town named Dharmapura, brought another stout bull, fastened him to the yoke of the cart and journeyed on. Thereafter Samjivaka too, having supported his weight on three legs, rose up. For, Life (when one is to live longer) preserves safe the vitals of one although plunged into the ocean or fallen from a mountain or bitten by the deadliest of cobras.
