असंतोषः श्रियो मूलं तस्मात् तं कामयाम्य् अहम् ॥
समुच्छ्रये यो यतते स राजन् परमो नयी ॥
ममत्वं हि न कर्तव्यम् ऐश्वर्ये वा धने ऽपि वा ॥
पूर्वावाप्तं हरन्त्य् अन्ये राजधर्मं हि तं विदुः ॥
अद्रोहे समयं कृत्वा चिच्छेद नमुचेः शिरः ॥
शक्रः सा हि मता तस्य रिपौ वृत्तिः सनातनी ॥

अनुवाद

Discontent is the root of fortune, and therefore I desire it; whoever strives for advancement is, O king, supreme in statecraft. One should not form the feeling of 'mine' over dominion or over wealth: what was once gained, others carry away — that is known as the dharma of kings. Having made a pact of non-aggression, Shakra nonetheless cut off the head of Namuchi; for that is deemed his eternal manner of dealing with an enemy.
