sarve naya api virodha-bhṛto mithas te
sambhūya sadhu-samayam bhagavan bhajante | bhūpā iva pratibhața bhuvi sarvabhaumapādāmbujam pradhana-yukti-parājitā drāk || 22
[sarve all; nayaḥ standpoints; api also; virodhabhṛtah bearing difference; mithaḥ mutually; te they; sambhūya gathered together; sadhusamayam good scriptures; Bhagavan Oh Lord; bhajante worship, serve; bhūpāḥ kings; iva like; pratibhaṭāḥ hostile warriors; bhuvi on earth; sārvabhaumapādāmbujam the lotuslike feet of the Sovereign-Emperor; pradhanayuktiparājitāḥ defeated in military warfare; drāk quickly ]. Oh Lord! although all standpoints differ from themselves inter se, they collectively serve your Gospel, just as, on earth, kings, though hostile to each other, after having been defeated in military warfare serve at the lotus-like feet of, or pay homage to, the SovereignEmperor. 22.
