दिशि दिशि ततकीर्तिर्भोजभूपः सुनीती रिपुकुलबलदारी विक्रमो दुःखहारी । अकबरनरपालो दुर्नयारातिकालो मरणमुपययुस्ते मृत्युना निःसहायाः ॥३३॥
Meaning :- A highly generous king Bhoja, whose fame had spread far and wide in all the four directions and whose sense of morality and justice were of very superior order, a very illustrious king Vikrama who was a terror to the hosts of enemies and a renowned alleviator of the miseries of his subjects and a distinguished Muslim king Akbar who adorned the throne of Delhi and who was as if it were the God of Death to the enemy in the form of injustice -- when all these three yielded to the irresistible sway of death, they had to go alone, companionless, leaving their armies, treasures. and harem behind. They also could not take along with them any one or any thing. What to talk of others, then ? Therefore, remember with full assurance that the Soul has to go alone as it has come alone. (33)
