सर्वे नन्दन्ति यशसागतेन सभासाहेन सख्या सखायः । किल्बिषस्पृत्पितुषणिर्ह्येषामरं हितो भवति वाजिनाय ॥
Transliteration
sárve nandanti yaśásā́gatena sabhāsāhéna sakhyā́ sakhā́yaḥ | kilbiṣáspṛt pitúṣaṇír hy eṣā́m áraṃ hitó bhavati vā́jināya ||
Translation
યશ સાથે આવનાર, સભામાં વિજયી એવા મિત્રની સખાઈમાં બધા સખાઓ આનંદ કરે છે. કારણ કે તે એમના માટે દોષનો શુદ્ધિકર્તા છે, પોષણ આપનાર છે; બળની સમૃદ્ધિ માટે તે યોગ્ય સ્થાને સ્થાપિત થાય છે.
