Mongst virtuous wife and sons around;
The main chance of people be found;
And good judges in earn’st employ;
The Monarch’s bosom-spring of joy.
Paraphrastic rendering by Mr. James Gray, Professor of Pali, Rangoon College.
The monarch’s glad, his mind at rest,
While peace and good will reign;
And judges by their upright acts,
Can this same peace maintain;
Small is a husband’s surly care,
If learned be his wife;
And filial sons with loving hearts,
Make glad a father’s life.
