Transliteration
nāvamānyās tvayā rājann adhamotkṛṣṭa-madhyamāḥ | na hi māna-pradagdḥānāṃ kaścid asti śamaḥ kvacit ||
Translation
ਹੇ ਰਾਜਨ! ਨੀਵੇਂ, ਉੱਚੇ ਜਾਂ ਮੱਧਮ—ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਦਰਜੇ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦਾ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਅਪਮਾਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਜੋ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਾਨ-ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਦੀ ਅੱਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੜ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਉਹ ਸੜਨ ਠੰਢੀ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਕਿਤੇ ਵੀ ਕੋਈ ਪੱਕਾ ਉਪਾਅ ਨਹੀਂ।
