sevyaṃ kiṃ param uttamasya caritaṃ lokottaraḥ kaḥ pumān
śrī-siṃhaḥ sa tu kīdṛśo vada nidhir dharmasya dharmas tu kaḥ |
satyoktir vacanaṃ tu kiṃ kavi-nutaṃ ko nāma tādṛk kavir
viśveśaḥ sa tu kīdṛśo vijayate viśveṣu viśveśavat ||
"What ought to be served? The conduct of the supreme, best person. Who is that extraordinary man? / The illustrious Siṃha. But tell me, what is he like? A repository of virtue. But what is virtue? / Speaking truth. But what word is praised by poets? What poet is named as such? / Viśveśa. But what is he like? He reigns victorious over all beings like the Lord of the Universe (Viśveśa)."
