आदिप्रभृति गेयं स्यान्न चावज्ञाय पार्थिवम्। पिता हि सर्वभूतानां राजा भवति धर्मतः॥
ādiprabhṛti geyaṃ syānna cāvajñāya pārthivam| pitā hi sarvabhūtānāṃ rājā bhavati dharmataḥ||
English Meaning
Before you begin with the song, without disregarding the king, do you bow to him reverentially. Morally the king is the father of all.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
