न देयमिति क्रुराय कुबुद्धयेऽशान्ताय ।
गुरुद्रोहिणेऽभक्तायेति । देयमिति ब्रह्मचारिणे ।
धर्म्मतः प्रजापालदुष्टदण्डविधारिणे साधुसंरक्ष ।
काय इत्येवं प्रवचनं प्रवचनमिति ॥ ३३ ॥
na deyamiti krurāya kubuddhaye'śāntāya |
gurudrohiṇe'bhaktāyeti | deyamiti brahmacāriṇe |
dharmmataḥ prajāpāladuṣṭadaṇḍavidhāriṇe sādhusaṃrakṣa |
kāya ityevaṃ pravacanaṃ pravacanamiti || 33 ||
Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.
It is not to be given to a cruel, evil-minded and unsettled person. To the betrayer of the teacher and the devotee. It is to be paid to the celibate. O righteous protector of the people, who punishes the wicked, protect the righteous. The body is thus called a discourse.
