संकीर्णाचारधर्मेषु प्रतिलोमचरेषु च । पिशिताशिषु चान्त्येषु मूढ राजा भविष्यसि,मूढ़! जिनके आचार और धर्म वर्णसंकरोंके समान हैं, जो प्रतिलोमसंकर जातियोंमें गिने जाते हैं तथा जो कच्चा मांस खानेवाले एवं चाण्डाल आदिकी श्रेणीमें हैं, ऐसे लोगोंका तू राजा होगा
Translation
“You will become king among those whose conduct and dharma are confused and mixed, among those who follow inverted ways, and among the lowest who eat raw flesh—people of the outcaste condition, like the Caṇḍālas.”
