Sanskrit Original
यथा मनुर्यथेक्ष्वाकुर्यथा पूरुर्महायशाः। यथा वैन्यो महाराज तथा त्वमपि विश्रुतः॥ यथा च वृत्रहा सर्वान् सपत्नान् निर्दहन् पुरा। त्रैलोक्यं पालयामास देवराड् विगतज्वरः॥ तथा शत्रुक्षयं कृत्वा त्वं प्रजाः पालयिष्यसि। स्वधर्मविजितामुर्वी प्राप्य राजीवलोचन॥ ख्यातिं यास्यसिधर्मेण कार्तवीर्यार्जुनो यथा॥
As were Manu, Ikshvaku the greatly famous Puru and Vena so, O great king, would you become celebrated and as in the days of yore, the slayer of Vitra, the king of the celestials after, having burnt his enemies and having his mind freed from all anxieties ruled over the three worlds, so will you destroying your enemies rule over your subjects. O lotus-eyed hero, having conquered the earth according to the custom of your own order (Kshatriya), you will acquire renown by your own virtue as did Krittaviryarjuna.
