यं यं तु वांछते कामं स स तस्य भविष्यति । क्षत्रियो जयमाप्नोति धनधान्यैरलंकृतः
yaṃ yaṃ tu vāṃchate kāmaṃ sa sa tasya bhaviṣyati | kṣatriyo jayamāpnoti dhanadhānyairalaṃkṛtaḥ
Quel que soit le désir qu’un homme convoite — chacun de ces vœux s’accomplira pour lui. Un kṣatriya obtient la victoire et se voit paré de richesses et d’abondantes récoltes.
