yena yena viyujyante prajāḥ snigdhena bandhunā /
sa sa pāpād ṛte tāsāṃ duṣyanta iti ghuṣyatām //
pratīhārī evaṃ nāma ghoṣayitavyam /
(niṣkramya / punaḥ praviṣya) kāle praviṣṭam ivābhinanditaṃ devasya śāsanam /
rājā (dīrgham uṣṇaṃ ca niḥśvasya) evaṃ bhoḥ saṃtatichedaniravalambānāṃ kulānāṃ mūlapuruṣāvasāne saṃpadaḥ param upatiṣṭhante / mama apy ante puruvaṃśaśriya eṣa eva vṛttāntaḥ /
pratīhārī pratihatam amaṅgalam /

Let King Dushyanta be proclaimed
To every sad soul kin
That mourns a kinsman loved and lost,
Yet did not plunge in sin.

Portress. The proclamation shall be made. (She goes out and soon returns.) Your Majesty, the royal proclamation was welcomed by the populace as is a timely shower.

King (sighing deeply). Thus, when issue fails, wealth passes, on the death of the head of the family, to a stranger. When I die, it will be so with the glory of Puru's line.

Portress. Heaven avert the omen!
