Verse 45

⁴¹So a man who wishes to prosper should never go near these at all, and least of all one whose way is dharma: a king, a lord of the people, a teacher. ⁴²He joined back the bull's three lost feet, austerity and cleanness and compassion; and he comforted the earth and made her thrive. ⁴³It is he who sits now on the seat that befits a king, laid down for him by his grandfather, the king who wished to go into the forest. ⁴⁴That royal sage is there now, shining with the splendour of the Kuru lords, in the city named for the elephant: greatly favoured, a turner of the wheel, whose fame is wide. ⁴⁵Such is the power of this king, the son of Abhimanyu; and it is while he guards the earth that you have been consecrated for this long sacrifice.
