एवं स राजा तं शापमुपभुङ्क्ते सुदारुणम्। कार्यार्थिनां विमर्दो हि राज्ञां दोषाय कल्पते॥ तच्छीघ्रं दर्शनं मह्यमभिवर्तन्तु कार्यिणः। सुकृतस्य हि कार्यस्य फलं नावैति पार्थिवः। तस्माद्गच्छ प्रतीक्षस्व सौमित्रे कार्यवाञ्जनः॥
evaṃ sa rājā taṃ śāpamupabhuṅkte sudāruṇam| kāryārthināṃ vimardo hi rājñāṃ doṣāya kalpate|| tacchīghraṃ darśanaṃ mahyamabhivartantu kāryiṇaḥ| sukṛtasya hi kāryasya phalaṃ nāvaiti pārthivaḥ| tasmādgaccha pratīkṣasva saumitre kāryavāñjanaḥ||
English Meaning
O Lakşmaņa, the king Nțga is still suffering from that dreadful curse. It is the king's folly that is manifest from the mutual disagreement of the workers. Do you bring them all speedily to me who have come for business. For, sooth shall the kings profit by the just administration. Do you therefore go in person, O Lakşmaņa and see who has come for business.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
