adaivaṁ daivataṁ kuryur daivataṁ cāpy adaivatam | yam iccheyuḥ sa rājā syād ye neṣṭaḥ sa parābhavet ||
Translation
हे इच्छितात तर जे दैवी नाही त्याला दैवत ठरवतील, आणि जे दैवत आहे त्यालाही देवत्वच्युत करतील. ज्याला ते राजा करावयास इच्छितील तोच राजा होईल; ज्याला ते राजा मानणार नाहीत त्याचा पराभव होईल.
