Traducción
Just as rainfall satisfies everyone’s desires, Mahārāja Pṛthu used to satisfy everyone. He was like the sea in that no one could understand his depths, and he was like Meru, the king of hills, in the fixity of his purpose.
En satisfacer los deseos de todos, Mahārāja Pṛthu era como la lluvia. En su profundidad insondable, era como el mar, y en la firmeza de sus intenciones era como Meru, el rey de las montañas.

Significado
Mahārāja Pṛthu used to distribute his mercy to suffering humanity, and it was like rainfall after excessive heat. The ocean is wide and expansive, and it is very difficult to measure its length and breadth; similarly, Pṛthu Mahārāja was so deep and grave that no one could fathom his purposes. The hill known as Meru is fixed in the universe as a universal pivot, and no one can move it an inch from its position; similarly, no one could ever dissuade Mahārāja Pṛthu when he was determined.
Mahārāja Pṛthu solía otorgar su misericordia a la sufriente humanidad, y era como la lluvia que cae tras un calor agobiante. El mar es amplio y extenso, y es muy difícil medir sus dimensiones; de manera similar, Pṛthu Mahārāja era tan profundo y tan grave que nadie podía adivinar sus intenciones. El monte Meru es como un pivote fijo en el universo, y nadie puede moverlo un milímetro de su posición; de manera similar, nadie podía hacer cambiar a Mahārāja Pṛthu de parecer, una vez que tomaba una decisión.
