pānīya-mātram - only the drinking water; uccheṣam - what remained of the food; tat ca - that also; eka - for one; paritarpaṇam - satisfying; pāsyataḥ - when the King was about to drink; pulkasaḥ - a caṇḍāla; abhyāgāt - came there; apaḥ - water; dehi - please give; aśubhāya - although I am a lowborn caṇḍāla; me - to me.

Thereafter, only the drinking water remained, and there was only enough to satisfy one person, but when the King was just about to drink it, a caṇḍāla appeared and said, “O King, although I am lowborn, kindly give me some drinking water.”
