प्रियं मा कृणु देवेषु प्रियं राजसु मा कृणु । प्रियं सर्वस्य पश्यत उत शूद्र उतार्ये ॥१॥
priyaṃ mā kṛṇu deveṣu priyaṃ rājasu mā kṛṇu | priyaṃ sarvasya paśyata uta śūdra utārye ||1||
Make thou me dear to the gods, make me dear to kings, dear to everything that sees, both to Çūdra and to Āryan.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
