tvam gatis tv-agateenam cha chakshus tvam heenachakshusham
samasaktas tvayi pranah kinchin nau n-abhibhashase
त्वं गतिस्त्वगतीनां च चक्षुस्त्वं हीनचक्षुषाम्।
समासक्तास्त्वयि प्राणाः किंचिन्नौ नाभिभाषसे॥

What it means
The blind parents of Shravana call out to their son, not knowing he has been killed. Caring for ageing parents is a sacred bond, and losing a child is the deepest wound.हिंदी में अर्थ
तुम हम असहायों का सहारा हो, तुम हम अंधों की आँखें हो। हमारे प्राण तुममें बसे हैं। तुम हमसे बोलते क्यों नहीं?
श्रवण के अंधे माता-पिता अपने बेटे को पुकारते हैं, यह जाने बिना कि वह मारा गया है। बूढ़े माता-पिता की सेवा पवित्र बंधन है।
Spoken by Blind sage.
