Sāma–Bheda–Daṇḍa
तस्य पार्थिवसिंहस्य राज्यं धर्मेण शासत: । त्रयः प्रजज्ञिरे पुत्रा देवकल्पा यशस्विन:,“धर्मपूर्वक राज्यका शासन करते हुए नृपप्रवर प्रतीपके तीन पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए, जो देवताओंके समान तेजस्वी और यशस्वी थे
tasya pārthivasiṃhasya rājyaṃ dharmeṇa śāsataḥ | trayaḥ prajajñire putrā devakalpā yaśasvinaḥ ||
当那位王中之狮依达摩治理其国时，便有三位儿子诞生——声名显赫、光辉灿然，可比诸天。此偈强调：正法之治不仅是政令之整饬，更是道德之根基，能招致昌盛，并孕育堪承大统的后嗣。

Educational Q&A
The verse presents dharma as the guiding principle of kingship: when a ruler administers the realm righteously, social order and prosperity follow, symbolized here by the birth of illustrious, ‘god-like’ heirs.
Vāyudeva continues a genealogical-historical account, stating that the eminent king (Pratīpa, by context) ruled according to dharma, and during such righteous शासन (governance) three celebrated sons were born to him.
