4.12
te sujanās te dhanyās te krtinas te 'pi sukṛtinaḥ satatam,
ye kāraṇaṃ vinā 'pi ca parahitakaraṇāya hanta jīvanti. || 12 ||
Those who live to do good to others, even without a cause, ah, they it is who are truly good, happy, clever, and virtuous, at all times." Having told this story the statue said to the king: "If such benevolence, magnanimity, and heroism are found in you, then mount upon this throne." And King Bhoja was silent.
