Sanskrit Text

वृषलत्वं परिगता ब्राह्मणानामदर्शनात् श्रेयान्पराजयस्तेभ्यो जयो जयतां वर

English Translation

The Dravidas, the Kalingas, the Pulindas the Ushinaras, the Kolisarpas, the Mahishakas, and other Kshatriyas, have, on account of the absence of Brahmanas from among their midst, become degraded into Shudras. Defeat from them is preferable to victory, O foremost of victorious persons.
