वायुः सर्वात्मको राजन्प्रधर्षयितुमिच्छति
अशुभं मार्गमास्थाय न धर्मं प्रत्यवेक्षते
पितृमत्यः स्म भद्रं ते स्वच्छन्दे न वयं स्थिताः
पितरं नो वृणीष्व त्वं यदि नो दास्यते तव
तेन पापानुबन्धेन वचनं न प्रतीच्छता
एवं ब्रुवन्त्यः सर्वाः स्म वायुना निहता भृषं
तासां तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा राजा परमधार्मिकः
प्रत्युवाच महातेजाः कन्याशतमनुत्तमम्
क्षान्तं क्षमवतां पुत्र्यः कर्तव्यं सुमहत्कृतम्
एकमत्यमुपागम्य कुलं चावेक्षितं मम
यादृशीर्वः क्षमा पुत्र्यः सर्वासामविशेषतः
क्षमा दानं क्षमा यज्ञः क्षमा सत्यं च पुत्रिकाः
क्षमा यशः क्षमा धर्मः क्षमायां विष्ठितं जगत्

Shloka Meaning
Oh King! The air has the capacity to enter into every soul
By choosing the wrong path, one will not be directed by
righteousness
You being guarded by the parents will not have the same
qualities of them in you
The parents will not take from you until you give it to them
Thus promises done while being indulged in wrong doings will
not satisfy its goals
While mentioning thus the air will eminently consume all
By hearing thus from him the eminent and righteous king
He with one hundred daughters spoke to the enlightened one
The endured and forgiving sons will do their job with great
energy
I welcomed one such son to enter into my clan
When compared between the two, the forgiving sons will be
the best
Forgiveness is donation, knowledge, truth and the girl
children
Forgiveness is the success, righteousness and beheld by the
world
