राज्ञो महात्मिके स्थाने सद्यःशौचं विधीयते । प्रजानां परिरक्षार्थम् आसनं च-अत्र कारणम् ॥
rājño mahātmike sthāne sadyaḥśaucaṃ vidhīyate | prajānāṃ parirakṣārtham āsanaṃ ca-atra kāraṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For a king, on the throne of magnanimity, immediate purification is prescribed, and the reason for that is that he is seated (there) for the protection of (his) subjects.
