O lord of Lankā, be propitious. O Sovereign of Rākṣasas, listen to speech containing the significance of virtue and profit. O king, an envoy is not to be put to death on the occasion of his discharging his proper functions. This righteous people say everywhere to all.
प्रसीद लङ्केश्वर राक्षसेन्द्र धर्मार्थतत्त्वं वचनं शृणुप्व। दूता न वध्याः समयेषु राजन् सर्वेषु सर्वत्र वदन्ति सन्तः॥
