⟨1⟩ Kumbhīpāka. Les gens à qui le roi confie une charge…, qui volent les
bien des guru, vivent (?) dans la vilenie, volent les biens des pauvres,
des… savants brāhmanes.

## Translation into French by Pou 2001

⟨1⟩ "Cuisson de marmites". Les gens auxquels le roi confie les tâches
les plus difficiles, qui [alors] volent les biens des guru, se livrent
aux actes infâmes pour vivre, volent les biens des pauvres, des miséreux
et des savants brahmanes.

## Translation by Pou 2001

⟨1⟩ "Pot-baking". People who are entrusted with the most difficult tasks
by the king, [then] steal property of the guru, carry out wicked
actions, steal belongings of the poor, the destitute and the learned
Brahmans.
