Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
अथ सा पूजनी राजन्नागमत् फलहारिणी । अपश्यन्निहतं पुत्रं तेन बालेन भूतले,राजन! तदनन्तर जब पूजनी फल लेकर लौटी तो उसने देखा कि राजकुमारने उसके बच्चेको मार डाला है और वह धरतीपर पड़ा है
atha sā pūjanī rājann āgamat phalahāriṇī | apaśyann ihataṃ putraṃ tena bālena bhūtale ||
