ayaṃ vikramo rājā tathā na bhavati; sarvān pratyarthibhūbhujaḥ svapādapadmāśritān vidhāyā 'jñānatilaṅghanena rājyam akarot. uktaṃ ca:

This King Vikrama was not so; he had all his rival kings reduced under his majestic foot, and ruled without any violation of his commands. And it is said: 2. The only aim of royalty is authority; the only aim of asceticism is a life of chastity; the only aim of learning is knowledge; the only aim of money consists in giving and enjoying it.
