Translation
“O lord of the earth! Here you have upheld the śāstras as the true standard; thereby you have increased the honor of the Self (Ātman), Dharma, the scriptures, the Vedas, the Pitṛs (ancestors), the Ṛṣis, the guru, Prajāpati, and Brahmā—all of them. And those established in Dharma you have not allowed to waver, for by your own example you kept them steadfast.”
