दास्यामि विंशतिग्रामान्गच्छ त्वं नर्मदातटे । प्रेषणं मे प्रतिज्ञातमलक्ष्म्या पीडितेन तु
dāsyāmi viṃśatigrāmāngaccha tvaṃ narmadātaṭe | preṣaṇaṃ me pratijñātamalakṣmyā pīḍitena tu
నేను ఇరవై గ్రామాలు ఇస్తాను—నీవు నర్మదా తీరానికి వెళ్లు. దురదృష్టంతో బాధపడుతున్న నేను ఈ పంపకాన్ని ప్రతిజ్ఞగా స్వీకరించాను.

A pledged commission (preṣaṇa) tied to a Narmadā visit, accompanied by dāna (grant of villages).
