सोऽहं शून्ये गृहे दीनो मृतदारो मृतप्रज: ।जिजीविषे किमर्थं वा विधुरो दु:खजीवित: ॥ ७० ॥

ITRANS:

so ’haṁ śūnye gṛhe dīnomṛta-dāro mṛta-prajaḥjijīviṣe kim arthaṁ vāvidhuro duḥkha-jīvitaḥ

Translation:

Now I am a wretched person living in an empty home. My wife is dead; my children are dead. Why should I possibly want to live? My heart is so pained by separation from my family that life itself has become simply suffering.
