अत्यन्तशुद्धचरणं कुशलोपपेतं एषो नरर्षभ गतीमतिनां विधिज्ञः ।
हित्वा जनं पुरुषसिंहवरो पुरो च निर्गम्य ते अभिलषे पुरुषर्षभत्वं ॥ ९ ॥
atyantaśuddhacaraṇaṃ kuśalopapetaṃ eṣo nararṣabha gatīmatināṃ vidhijñaḥ |
hitvā janaṃ puruṣasiṃhavaro puro ca nirgamya te abhilaṣe puruṣarṣabhatvaṃ || 9 ||
“O valiant king, he who is of exceeding pure conduct, replete with goodness, intelligent in his ways, and devout, a noble lion-man renouncing his folk and leaving his city, desires the state of a bull-man. (9)
