Devanagari script

न हि केवलमस्माकं यावन्तो<न्ये च पार्थिवा: । तथैव तेषामासीच्च बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतां वर,बुद्धिमानोंमें श्रेष्ठ नरेश! यह केवल मेरा ही मत नहीं है, दूसरे भी जितने भूमिपाल हैं, उन सबका यही विचार रहा है

Transliteration

na hi kevalam asmākaṃ yāvanto 'nye ca pārthivāḥ | tathaiva teṣām āsīc ca buddhir buddhimatāṃ vara ||

Translation

શ્રીકૃષ્ણ બોલ્યા—હે બુદ્ધિમાનોમાં શ્રેષ્ઠ રાજન! આ માત્ર મારું મત નથી; જેટલા અન્ય ભૂપાલો છે, સૌની પણ એવી જ માન્યતા હતી.
