न राज कृपणो भवति धर्मकायस्य श्रियापि च ।
यो च धर्मं समुपक्रम्य तद्धर्मे न रतो नरो ।
स राज कृपणो भवति ज्योतिष्टोमपरायणो ॥ १० ॥

na rāja kṛpaṇo bhavati dharmakāyasya śriyāpi ca |
yo ca dharmaṃ samupakramya taddharme na rato naro |
sa rāja kṛpaṇo bhavati jyotiṣṭomaparāyaṇo || 10 ||

O king, he is not wretched who realises the dharma in his own person. But whoso does violence to the dharma, the man who delights not in this dharma, it is he, O king, that is wretched, his destiny utter darkness. (10)
