Devanagari script
सत्यं वदे नाभ्यसूये यथाशक्ति ददामि च । देवतातिथि भृत्यानामवशिष्टेन वर्तये,सत्य बोलता हूँ। किसीकी निनन्दा नहीं करता और अपनी शक्तिके अनुसार दान भी करता हूँ। देवताओं, अतिथियों और भरण-पोषणके योग्य कुटुम्बीजनों तथा सेवकोंको भोजन देकर जो बचता है उसीसे शरीरका निर्वाह करता हूँ
Transliteration
satyaṁ vade nābhyasūye yathāśakti dadāmi ca | devatātithi-bhṛtyānām avaśiṣṭena vartaye ||
Translation
The hunter said: “I speak the truth and do not indulge in fault-finding. I give in charity according to my capacity. After first offering food to the gods, to guests, and to those dependent on me—my household and servants—I sustain myself only on what remains.”
