किम् अत्र दस्रा कृणुथः किम् आसाथे जनो यः कश् चिद् अहविर् महीयते । अति क्रमिष्टं जुरतम् पणेर् असुं ज्योतिर् विप्राय कृणुतं वचस्यवे ॥
kim atra dasrā kṛṇuthaḥ kim āsāthe jano yaḥ kaś cid ahavir mahīyate | ati kramiṣṭaṃ juratam paṇer asuṃ jyotir viprāya kṛṇutaṃ vacasyave ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
What make ye there, ye Mighty? Wherefore linger ye with folk who, offering not, are held in high esteem? Pass over them; make ye the niggard's life decay: give light unto the singer eloquent in praise.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
