v2.c14.s36.12
‘If the rice-porridge or rice be touched [by him], there will be an increase of rice. If the heap of corn is touched by the [royal] hand, there will be plenty of food (*subhiksha*). If gold and other precious metals be touched, it indicates that the subjects will prosper. If the sword or other weapons be touched, it bespeaks the king's prowess. It would be unfortunate for the whole kingdom, if any inauspicious things be touched by the king.’
