अल्पं दत्तं मयाद्येति निष्ककोटिं सहस्रश: । एकाह्वा दास्यति पुन: को<न्यस्तत् सम्प्रदास्यति,राजा रन्तिदेव एक दिनमें सहस्रों कोटि निष्क दान करके भी यह खेद प्रकट किया करते थे कि आज मैंने बहुत कम दान किया; ऐसा सोचकर वे पुनः दान देते थे। भला दूसरा कौन इतना दान दे सकता है?
Translation
ಸಾವಿರಾರು ಕೋಟಿ ನಿಷ್ಕಗಳನ್ನು ದಾನಮಾಡಿದರೂ ರಾಜ ರಂತಿದೇವನು—“ಇಂದು ನಾನು ಅಲ್ಪವೇ ದಾನಮಾಡಿದೆ” ಎಂದು ವಿಷಾದಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು; ಹಾಗೆಂದು ಮತ್ತೆ ದಾನಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು. ಇಷ್ಟು ದಾನವನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಾರು ನೀಡಬಲ್ಲರು?
