Do you duly look after the Brahmanas, always making them the first gifts? What need I say of the citizens, and your servants, and kinsmen, are your foes, O chief of Bharata's race pleased with your conduct? Do you, O king of kings, adore with devotion the Pitris and the deities?
ब्राह्मणानग्रहारैर्वा यथावदनुपश्यसि। कच्चित् ते परितुष्यन्ति शीलेन भरतर्षभ।॥ शत्रवोऽपि कुतः पौरा भृत्या वा स्वजनोऽपि वा। कच्चिद् यजसि राजेन्द्र श्रद्धावान् पितृदेवताः॥
