Devanagari script
तेषां समविभक्तानां क्षितौ देहवतामिव । बभौ धर्मार्थकामानां चतुर्थ इव पार्थिव:,इस प्रकार तुल्यरूपसे बँटे हुए धर्म, अर्थ और काम तीनों पुरुषार्थ भूतलपर मानो मूर्तिमान् होकर प्रकट हो रहे थे और राजा युधिष्ठिर चौथे पुरुषार्थ मोक्षकी भाँति सुशोभित होते थे
Translation
Sa ibabaw ng lupa, ang Dharma, Artha, at Kama—ang tatlong layunin ng buhay—na nahahati nang pantay, ay waring nagkatawang-tao at hayag na lumitaw. At ang haring si Yudhiṣṭhira ay nagningning na tila ang ikaapat na layunin, ang Moksha, na marangal at dakila.
