दास्यामि विंशतिग्रामान्गच्छ त्वं नर्मदातटे । प्रेषणं मे प्रतिज्ञातमलक्ष्म्या पीडितेन तु
dāsyāmi viṃśatigrāmāngaccha tvaṃ narmadātaṭe | preṣaṇaṃ me pratijñātamalakṣmyā pīḍitena tu
હું વીસ ગામો આપીશ—તમે નર્મદા‑તટે જાઓ. દુર્ભાગ્યથી પીડિત થઈ મેં આ પ્રેષણનું વ્રત લીધું છે.

A pledged commission (preṣaṇa) tied to a Narmadā visit, accompanied by dāna (grant of villages).
