nyāyye vartmani yojitāḥ prakṛtayaḥ santaḥ sukhaṃ sthāpitā
nīto bandhujanastathātmasamatāṃ rājye ca rakṣā kṛtā /
datto dattamanorathādhikaphalaḥ kalpadrumo 'pyarthine
kiṃ karttavyamataḥ paraṃ kathaya vā yatte sthitaṃ cetasi //
Jímútaváhana (smiling).
O friend, has not all that should have been done, been done? See here. My subjects are placed in the right path; the virtuous are happy; my relatives are placed on an equality with myself, and a regency is made in the kingdom; to the poor man a tree of Paradise has been given, whose fruit gives even more than he wishes for. Say, what more than this should be done? or what remains in your mind?
