Devanagari script
देवानामविहिंसायां न भवेन्मानुषक्षयम् । तद् गृहाण महाराज पूजाहों नौ मतो भवान्,महाराज! कोई ऐसा वर माँग लो, जिससे न तो देवताओंकी हिंसा हो और न मनुष्योंका संहार ही हो सके। तुम हमारी दृष्टिमें आदरके योग्य हो”
Transliteration
devānām avihiṁsāyāṁ na bhaven mānuṣa-kṣayam | tad gṛhāṇa mahārāja pūjyo ’haṁ nau mato bhavān ||
Translation
قال نارَدَة: «إذا وُجِدَتِ اللاعُنفُ (أهِمْسا) تجاه الآلهة، فلا ينبغي أن ينشأ فناءُ البشر. لذلك، أيها الملك العظيم، خُذْ بهذه المشورة: اختر نعمةً لا تُؤذي الآلهة ولا تُفضي إلى هلاك الناس. إنك في نظرنا جديرٌ بالإكرام.»
