Shloka 13
पृथिव्यां पार्थिवा ये च तेषां यूयं परायणम् । गुणा न हि मया शकया वक्तुं वर्षशतैरपि,पृथ्वीपर जितने राजा हैं, उन सबके आपलोग उत्तम आश्रय हैं। सौ वर्षोमें भी आपलोगोंके गुणोंका वर्णन मैं नहीं कर सकती
pṛthivyāṃ pārthivā ye ca teṣāṃ yūyaṃ parāyaṇam | guṇā na hi mayā śakyā vaktuṃ varṣaśatair api ||
প্ৰতীপে ক’লে—পৃথিৱীত যিমান ৰজা আছে, তেওঁলোক সকলোৰে বাবে আপোনালোকেই পৰম আশ্ৰয় আৰু অন্তিম শৰণ। আপোনালোকৰ গুণ বৰ্ণনা মই শতবছৰেও সম্পূৰ্ণকৈ কৰিব নোৱাৰোঁ।

The verse highlights an ethical ideal of kingship: true greatness is measured by guṇa (virtue) and by being a parāyaṇa—an ultimate refuge for others. It also models humility, acknowledging that genuine excellence can exceed the limits of praise.
Pratīpa addresses a respected group (spoken to in the plural), declaring them the foremost support among all earthly rulers and stating that their virtues are too vast to be fully described even over a hundred years.
