Devanagari script

अड्डराज्यं च ना्हस्त्वमुपभोक्तुं नराधम । था हुताशसमीपस्थं पुरोडाशमिवाध्वरे,“नराधम! जैसे यज्ञमें अग्निके समीप रखे हुए पुरोडाशको कुत्ता नहीं पा सकता, उसी प्रकार तू भी अंगदेशका राज्य भोगनेयोग्य नहीं है”

Transliteration

aṅgarājyaṃ ca nārhastvam upabhoktuṃ narādhama | yathā hutāśa-samīpasthaṃ puroḍāśam ivādhvare ||

Translation

ਨਰਾਧਮ! ਤੂੰ ਅੰਗ ਦੇ ਰਾਜ ਦਾ ਭੋਗ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ ਯੋਗ ਨਹੀਂ; ਜਿਵੇਂ ਯੱਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਅੱਗ ਕੋਲ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਪੁਰੋਡਾਸ਼ ਕੁੱਤਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੈ ਸਕਦਾ, ਤਿਵੇਂ ਉਹ ਰਾਜ-ਭੋਗ ਵੀ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ।
