Devanagari script
अश्वान् गाश्नैव दासीश्व करेणूश्न॒ स्वलंकृता: । ग्रामाउ्जनपदांश्वैव क्षेत्राणि च गृहाणि च,प्रजानाथ! यदि हमलोग ईर्ष्यायुक्त मनवाले होकर ब्राह्मणोंको घोड़े, गाय, दासी, सजी- सजायी हथिनी, गाँव, जनपद, खेत और घर आदिका दान नहीं करते हैं तो राजाओंमें कलियुग समझे जायँगे
Translation
Ó senhor dos povos! Se, com a mente tomada pela inveja, não dermos aos brâmanes cavalos, vacas, servas, elefantas adornadas, bem como aldeias, distritos, campos e casas, então seremos tidos como “Kali” entre os reis.
