एतद् विदन्तो) विद्वांसो ब्राह्मणा ब्रह्मवादिनः । न राज्ञः प्रतिगृह्णन्ति) प्रेत्य श्रेयो ऽअभिकाङ्क्षिणः ॥
etad vidanto) vidvāṃso brāhmaṇā brahmavādinaḥ | na rājñaḥ pratigṛhṇanti) pretya śreyo 'abhikāṅkṣiṇaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Learned Brāhmaṇas, who know that, who study the Veda and desire bliss after death, do not accept presents from a king.
