Shloka 10
Devanagari script
लोकपालो न तां वाचमुकक्त्वा मिथ्या करिष्यति । समक्ष बन्धुकृत्ये न तेन ते स्वस्थ मानसम्,“वे लोकपाल हैं। जब बात दे चुके हैं, तब उसे झूठी नहीं करेंगे। अतः स्वस्थ पुरुष! तुम्हारा मन अपने बच्चोंकी रक्षारूप बन्धुजनोचित कर्तव्यके पालनेके लिये उत्सुक नहीं है
Transliteration
lokapālo na tāṁ vācam uktvā mithyā kariṣyati | samakṣaṁ bandhukṛtye na tena te svastha mānasam ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “A Lokapāla, having once given his word, will not make it false. Therefore, O sound-minded one, let your heart be at ease: he will not fail in the duty owed to kin—especially the protection of one’s own children—performed openly and without deceit.”
