इदं वृत्तं मनुष्येषु वर्तते यो महीपति: । उभौ लोकौ विनिर्जित्य विजये सम्प्रतिष्ठतते,जो राजा प्रजाके प्रति ऐसा बर्ताव करता है, वह इहलोक और परलोक दोनोंको जीतकर विजयमें प्रतिष्ठित होता है
Transliteration
idaṃ vṛttaṃ manuṣyeṣu vartate yo mahīpatiḥ | ubhau lokau vinirjitya vijaye sampratiṣṭhate ||
Translation
మనుష్యులలో ఇది స్థిరమైన ఆచారనియమం—ప్రజల పట్ల ఈ విధంగా ధర్మానుగుణంగా ప్రవర్తించే రాజు ఇహలోకమును, పరలోకమును రెండింటినీ జయించి విజయములో దృఢంగా స్థిరపడతాడు.
