Sanskrit Text

तस्या द्वारं समासाद्य न्यसेथाः कुणपं क्वचित् तं दृष्ट्वा यो निवर्तेत संवर्तो महीपते

English Translation

And having reached the gate of the city, you must place a dead body somewhere near it, and the man who shall turn away on seeing the dead body, do you, O prince, know that man to be Samvarta, and knowing him, do you follow his footsteps wherever that powerful man wishes to go, and finding him (at length) in a lonely place you must seek his protection with your hands clasped together.
