किं मया नृपभूतेन यशोधर्मविघातिना ।
न शक्यंते प्रजा येन रक्षितुमीतिपीडिते ।
धिग्मां नृपाधमीभूतं किं पापं प्रकृतं मया ।
येन यस्य प्रजा एव क्षुत्पिपासहता मृताः ।
किमेव मम राज्ये न भोग्यैश्चापि धनैरपि ।
किं तेन जीवितेनापि यशोधर्मविनाशिना ॥ ११७ ॥ {१८}

yena yasya prajā eva kṣutpipāsahatā mṛtāḥ |
kimeva mama rājye na bhogyaiścāpi dhanairapi |
