Kekaya Exemplum
Devanagari script
राजोवाच न मे स्तेनो जनपदे न कदर्यो न मद्यप: । नानाहिताग्निर्नायज्वा मामकान्तरमाविश:,यह देख राजाने उस राक्षससे कहा--ेरे राज्यमें एक भी चोर, कंजूस, शराबी अथवा अन्निहोत्र और यज्ञका त्याग करनेवाला नहीं है तो भी तुम्हारा मेरे शरीरमें प्रवेश कैसे हो गया?
Transliteration
rājovāca na me steno janapade na kadaryo na madyapaḥ | nānāhitāgnir nāyajvā māmaka-antaraṃ āviśaḥ ||
Translation
王は言った。「わが国には盗人も、吝嗇な者も、酒に溺れる者もいない。聖なる火（アグニホートラ）を捨て、祭祀を怠る者もいない。しかるに、どうして汝はこの我が身—我が内奥—へ入り込んだのか。」
