नैव दीनो न दुर्वृत्तो नापद्ग्रस्तो न शोकभाक् । येषां राष्ट्रे प्रदृश्यंते भूपास्तेऽस्य सभासदः
naiva dīno na durvṛtto nāpadgrasto na śokabhāk | yeṣāṃ rāṣṭre pradṛśyaṃte bhūpāste'sya sabhāsadaḥ
ज्यांच्या राज्यात ना कोणी दीन दिसतो, ना दुर्वृत्त, ना आपत्तीने ग्रस्त, ना शोकाकुल—असे राजे यमराजाच्या सभेचे सभासद होतात।
