Translation by Barnett 1915–1916
This general principle of pious foundations of kings is to be maintained by you age after age : again and again Rāmacandra makes this entreaty to all these future soveriegns. He who should appropriate land, whether granted by himself or granted by others, is born as a worm in dung for sixty thousand years.
