अथो पि दासे अलसो अशिल्पको सुदुर्गतो वापि नरो अरूपवां ।
त्वया उपेतो शिरिजातिमन्तिया तद् इदम् असाधु यद् इदं त्वया कृतं ॥ ४४ ॥
atho pi dāse alaso aśilpako sudurgato vāpi naro arūpavāṃ |
tvayā upeto śirijātimantiyā tad idam asādhu yad idaṃ tvayā kṛtaṃ || 44 ||
“Again, a man that is lazy, unskilled, ill-favoured and ugly to boot, helped by thee, O Glory, becomes rich and successful, and orders the well-born man about like a slave.” (44)
