What should a person like me who is worthy to have wealth, but who has, after repeated attempts, failed to regain his kingdom, do, O Brahmana, excepting suicide, thieving and robbery, secking refuge with others, and other acts of meanness of a similar nature? O best of men, tell me this.
राजोवाच अर्थेषु भागी पुरुष ईहमानः पुनः पुनः। अलब्ध्वा मद्विधो राज्यं ब्रह्मन् किं कर्तुमर्हति॥ अन्यत्र मरणाद् दैन्यादन्यत्र परसंश्रयात्। क्षुद्रादन्यत्र चाचारात् तन्ममाचक्ष्व सत्तम॥
