चन्द्रभागानदीतीरे पुण्डरीक इति श्रुतः |
कक्ष्चिदासीद् द्विजश्रेष्ठो धर्मानुष्ठानतत्परः ||
दरिद्रोपि कुटुम्बं स्वमुञ्चवृत्या समाचरन् |
पूजयामास पितरौ श्रद्धाभक्तिसमन्वितः ||
वृद्धौ तौ पितरौ नित्यं पत्न्या सह महामनाः |
विविधैरुपचारैक्ष्च पूजयामास सादरम् ||
अनन्यनिष्ठया विप्रः पितरौ पूजयन् सदा |

ताडितस्तर्जितो वापि पितृभ्यां निन्दितोपि च |
पुत्रोत्तमः पुण्डरीको नैवोपेक्षां चकार ह ||

Yet he took care of his parents with great love and dedication. Along with his wife, that kind hearted man took care of his parents and daily worshipped them, offering all that they needed. Pundarika, with a firm mind, never paid attention to any other deity. He was always engaged in attending to his parents. The good, loving son Pundarika did not hate his parents even when he was beaten, scolded or ridiculed by then
