abhayasya hi yo dātā sa pūjyaḥ satataṃ nṛpaḥ
sattraṃ hi vardhate tasya sadaivābhayadakṣiṇam //
That king, indeed, is ever worthy of honour who ensures the safety (of his subjects); for the sacrificial session (sattra, which he, as it were, performs thereby) ever grows in length, the safety (of his subjects representing) the sacrificial fee.
