असंशयं दैवपर: क्षिप्रमेव विनश्यति । याजयैनं विश्वजिता सर्वस्वेन वियुज्य तम्
Translation
Il n’y a point de doute : l’homme frappé par le destin, comme par le coup des dieux, périt bien vite. Si tu le peux, engage cet ennemi dans le sacrifice nommé Viśvajit, et fais-lui donner, en dakṣiṇā, tout ce qu’il possède, afin de le réduire à la pauvreté.
