tathāpi sūnṛtā saumya
hṛdi na sthīyate cale
putrānurāga-viṣame
vidyut saudāmanī yathā
tathā api — nevertheless; sūnṛtā — pleasing words; saumya — O gentle one; hṛdi — in my heart; na sthīyate — do not remain steady; cale — which is unsteady; putra — for my sons; anurāga — by affection; viṣame — prejudiced; vidyut — lightning; saudāmanī — in a cloud; yathā — as.
Even so, gentle Akrūra, because my unsteady heart is prejudiced by affection for my sons, these pleasing words of yours cannot remain fixed there, just as lightning cannot remain fixed in a cloud.
