स त्वं जातबलो राजा दुष्प्रधर्ष: प्रतापवान् सुखे धास्यसि न: सर्वान् कुबेर इव नैऋ#तान्
Translation
“Kaya nga, sa tulong ng bayan, ikaw ay magiging isang haring malakas, mahirap daigin, at puspos ng kapangyarihan. Papanatilihin mo kaming lahat na ligtas at nasa ginhawa—gaya ni Kubera na nag-iingat sa mga Yakṣa.”
