Devanagari script

राज्यं स्वर्गं च मोक्षं च भोजनं क्षीरसंभवम् न लभन्ते प्रियाण्येषां नो तुष्यति सदा भवः

Transliteration

rājyaṃ svargaṃ ca mokṣaṃ ca bhojanaṃ kṣīrasaṃbhavam na labhante priyāṇyeṣāṃ no tuṣyati sadā bhavaḥ

Translation

वे न राज्य पाते हैं, न स्वर्ग, न मोक्ष, और न ही क्षीर-जन्य भोजन। उनके लिए कोई प्रिय फल सिद्ध नहीं होता; और भवा (शिव) सदा उनसे प्रसन्न नहीं होते।
