तथा कोसलराजानं भानुमन्तं सुसत्कृतम्। मगधाधिपति शूरं सर्वशास्त्रविशारदम्॥ प्राप्तिज्ञं परमोदारं सत्कृतं पुरुषर्षभम्। राज्ञः शासनमादाय चोदयस्व नृपर्षभान्। प्राचीनान् सिन्धुसौवीरान्सौराष्ट्रेयांश्च पार्थिवान्॥ दाक्षिणात्यान् नरेन्द्रांश्च समस्तानानयस्व ह। सन्ति स्निग्धाश्च ये चान्ये राजानः पृथिवीतले ॥ तानानय यथा क्षिप्रं सानुगान् सहबान्धवान्। एतान् दूतैर्महाभागैरानयस्व नृपाज्ञया॥
