Sanskrit Text
आधिपत्ये
तथा
तुल्ये
निग्रहानुग्रहात्मनि
।
राजर्षिभिक्षुकाचार्या
मुच्यन्ते
केन
हेतुना
॥
English Translation
Sovereignty is fraught with the rewarding and the punishing of others. The life of a mendicant is equally fraught with the same. When, therefore, mendicants are like kings in this respect, why would mendicants only acquire Liberation, and not kings?
