संकीर्णाचारधर्मेषु प्रतिलोमचरेषु च । पिशिताशिषु चान्त्येषु मूढ राजा भविष्यसि,मूढ़! जिनके आचार और धर्म वर्णसंकरोंके समान हैं, जो प्रतिलोमसंकर जातियोंमें गिने जाते हैं तथा जो कच्चा मांस खानेवाले एवं चाण्डाल आदिकी श्रेणीमें हैं, ऐसे लोगोंका तू राजा होगा
Translation
మూఢుడా! ఆచారధర్మాలు వర్ణసంకరులవలె కలగలిసినవారిలో, ప్రతిలోమ జాతులలో లెక్కించబడినవారిలో, కచ్చి మాంసం తినే చాండాలాది అంత్యజులలో—వారికి నీవు రాజవు అవుతావు.
