प्रतापयुक्तस् तेजस्वी नित्यं स्यात्) पापकर्मसु । दुष्टसामन्तहिंस्रश् च तद् आग्नेयं व्रतं स्मृतम् ॥
pratāpayuktas tejasvī nityaṃ syāt) pāpakarmasu | duṣṭasāmantahiṃsraś ca tad āgneyaṃ vrataṃ smṛtam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
(If) he is ardent in wrath against criminals and endowed with brilliant energy, and destroys wicked vassals', then his character is said (to resemble) that of Fire.
