If there were not a king in this world to adjudge fair and foul, darkness would overspread (the face of the earth) and people could not distinguish anything whatever. As the ocean keeps within its continent, we even while the monarch lived, did not disregard your words.
अहो तम इवेदं स्यान प्रज्ञायेत किंचन। राजा चेन भवेल्लोके विभजन् साध्वसाधुनी॥ जीवत्यपि महाराजे तवैव वचनं वयम्। नातिक्रमामहे सर्वे वेलां प्राप्येव सागः ॥
