Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 9

Devanagari script

यथा स्युर्ब्राह्मणाः सर्वे सुखिनो हृष्टमानसाः । युष्माभिः पालनं कार्यं तथा सर्वैः समाहितैः । यश्चैतान्भक्तिसंयुक्तः पालयिष्यति भूमिपः । अन्योऽपि परमं तेजः स संप्राप्स्यति भूतले

Transliteration

yathā syurbrāhmaṇāḥ sarve sukhino hṛṣṭamānasāḥ | yuṣmābhiḥ pālanaṃ kāryaṃ tathā sarvaiḥ samāhitaiḥ | yaścaitānbhaktisaṃyuktaḥ pālayiṣyati bhūmipaḥ | anyo'pi paramaṃ tejaḥ sa saṃprāpsyati bhūtale

Translation

എല്ലാ ബ്രാഹ്മണരും സുഖത്തോടെയും ഹർഷിതമനസ്സോടെയും ഇരിക്കേണ്ടതിന്, നിങ്ങൾ എല്ലാവരും ഏകാഗ്രചിത്തരായി ഭരണവും സംരക്ഷണവും നടത്തണം। ഭക്തിസംയുക്തനായി ഇവരെ (ഇവരുടെ ദാനധർമ്മത്തെയും) കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിക്കുന്ന ഏതു രാജാവും—പിന്നീടുള്ള മറ്റൊരു ഭരണാധികാരിയായാലും—ഭൂമിയിൽ പരമ തേജസ് പ്രാപിക്കും।
