Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
Devanagari script
राज्यं हि सततं दुःखं दुर्धरं चाकृतात्मभि: । भूयिष्ठं च नरेन्द्राणां विद्यते न शुभा गति:
Translation
രാജ്യം എപ്പോഴും ദുഃഖസ്വരൂപമാണ്; ആത്മനിയന്ത്രണമില്ലാത്തവർക്ക് അതിനെ വഹിക്കുക അത്യന്തം ദുഷ്കരം. അതിനാൽ അധികം രാജാക്കന്മാർക്ക് ശുഭഗതി ലഭിക്കാറില്ല.
