Text 2.41.4
कौसल्यायां महातेजा यथा मातरि वर्तते।
तथा यो वर्ततेऽस्मासु महात्मा क्व नु गच्छति॥
kausalyāyāṁ mahā-tejā yathā mātari vartate
tathā yo vartate ’smāsu mahātmā kva nu gacchati
kausalyāyām = Kausalyā; mahā-tejā = of great prowess; yathā = the way; mātari vartate = He deals with His mother; tathā yaḥ vartate asmāsu = who deals with us; mahā-ātmā = the great soul; kva nu = where; gacchati = does go.
Where does the great soul of great prowess, who deals with us the way He deals with His mother Kausalyā, go?
