नैषा बुद्धिर्महाबुद्धे यद् ब्रवीषि महाकपे। विचेतुं वयमाज्ञप्ता दक्षिणां दिशमुत्तमाम्॥ नानेतुं कपिराजेन नैव रामेण धीमता।
naiṣā buddhirmahābuddhe yad bravīṣi mahākape| vicetuṃ vayamājñaptā dakṣiṇāṃ diśamuttamām|| nānetuṃ kapirājena naiva rāmeṇa dhīmatā|
English Meaning

— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
