Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 9 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11


Sanskrit:

तस्य तां करुणां वाचं निशम्य विपुलश्रमाम् ।कृपया भृशसन्तप्त इदमाहामृतं वच: ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

tasya tāṁ karuṇāṁ vācaṁniśamya vipula-śramāmkṛpayā bhṛśa-santaptaidam āhāmṛtaṁ vacaḥ

Translation:

Aggrieved at hearing the pitiable words of the poor fatigued caṇḍāla, Mahārāja Rantideva spoke the following nectarean words.

Purport:

Mahārāja Rantideva’s words were like amṛta, or nectar, and therefore, aside from rendering bodily service to an aggrieved person, by his words alone the King could save the life of anyone who might hear him.
