c9.31

“Mine are the tribes in eastern lands
And those who dwell on Sindhu’s sands.
Mine is Surashtra far away,
Sauvira’s realm admits my sway ;
My hest the southern nations fear,
The Angas and the Vangas hear.
And as lord paramount I reign
O’er Magadh and the Matsya’s plain,
Kosal and Kasis’ wide domain
All rich in treasures of the mine
In golden corn, sheep, goats, and kine.”²
