Duḥṣanta–Śakuntalā: Gandharva Marriage and Succession Condition
Devanagari script
भूमौ भूमिपति: क्षेष्ठो देवाधिप इति स्मृतः । शरभो नाम यस्तेषां दैतेयानां महासुर:

bhūmau bhūmipatiḥ śreṣṭho devādhipa iti smṛtaḥ |
śarabho nāma yas teṣāṃ daiteyānāṃ mahāsuraḥ ||
Translation
毗舍摩耶那说道：“在大地之上，诸王之最上者，被称念为‘天主’（Devādhipa，诸天之主）。在那些代底耶之中，有一位大阿修罗名为舍罗婆（Śarabha）。” 此处叙事将人间王权置于更早的宇宙谱系之中：强大的代底耶—阿修罗之属，被说成投生为人间名王。其伦理旨趣在于：世间权势并非偶然，其兴起系于本性（svabhāva）与往昔业行；故为王者当自警惕——若不以法（dharma）节制，伟大亦可能携带毁灭冲动之阴影。
