[2124] "These geese, driven by fear, fly off with their bodies bent; O golden-skinned, golden-hued one — depart at will, Sumukha. Forsaking me, who alone have fallen into the power of the snare, the flocks of kinsmen go off without concern; why do you alone stay behind? Fly, O best of those that fly! There is no fellowship with one who is bound. Do not forfeit your freedom from woe — depart at will, Sumukha."
