5.10
mahābhāgaḥ kāmaṃ narapatir abhinnasthitir asau
na kaścid varṇānām apatham apakṛṣṭo 'pi bhajate /
tathāpīdaṃ śaśvatparicitaviviktena manasā /
janākīrṇaṃ manye hutavahaparītaṃ gṛham iva //
The king is noble and to virtue true;
None dwelling here commit the deed of shame;
Yet we ascetics view the worldly crew
As in a house all lapped about with flame.
