My dear brāhmaṇa, the face of my son was just like a lotus flower. I am thinking of his precarious condition. He is unprotected, and he might be very hungry. He might have lain down somewhere in the forest, and the wolves might have attacked him to eat his body.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
अप्यनाथं वने ब्रह्मन् मा स्मादन्त्यर्भकं वृकाः । श्रान्तं शयानं क्षुधितं परिम्लानमुखाम्बुजम्
apyanāthaṃ vane brahman mā smādantyarbhakaṃ vṛkāḥ | śrāntaṃ śayānaṃ kṣudhitaṃ parimlānamukhāmbujam
