You are the king, O worthy of honour; and I am, as before, ever (your servant). I was entrusted with regal power in consequence of your absence. This kingdom consisting of courtiers and citizens, remains now rid of its thorns. It was established in me as a trust. And I protected it as such.
त्वमेव राजा मानार्हः सदा चाहं यथा पुरा॥ राजभावे नियोगोऽयं मम त्वविरहात्कृतः। सामात्यपौरनगरं स्थितं निहतकण्टकम्॥ न्यासभूतमिदं राज्यं तव निर्यातयाम्यहम्।
