तन्नो भवानीहतु रातवेऽन्नं क्षुधार्दितानां नरदेवदेव । यावन्न नङ्क्ष्यामह उज्झितोर्जा वार्तापतिस्त्वं किल लोकपालः ।। ४-१७-११ ।।

sanskrit

Therefore we have all come to you for protection. You are not only a king, but the incarnation of God as well. Indeed, you are the king of all kings. You can give us all kinds of occupational engagements, for you are the master of our livelihood. Therefore, O king of all kings, please arrange to satisfy our hunger by the proper distribution of food grains. Please take care of us, lest we soon die for want of food. ।। 4-17-11 ।।
