त्रैलोक्यस्या धिपत्यं हि दानेनैव ध्रुवं स्थितम् / अराजा लभते राज्यमधनश्चोत्तमं धनम् / क्षीणायुर्लभते चायुः पितृभक्तः सदा नरः
Transliteration
trailokyasyā dhipatyaṃ hi dānenaiva dhruvaṃ sthitam / arājā labhate rājyamadhanaścottamaṃ dhanam / kṣīṇāyurlabhate cāyuḥ pitṛbhaktaḥ sadā naraḥ
Translation
Sovereignty over the three worlds is firmly established by giving alone; the one without a kingdom gains a kingdom, the poor gain excellent wealth; the short-lived gain life—thus for the man ever devoted to the Pitṛs.
