कच्चिद्दर्शयसे नित्यं मनुष्याणां विभूषितम्।
उत्थायोत्थाय पूर्वाह्णे राजपुत्र महापथे॥
kaccid darśayase nityaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ vibhūṣitam
utthāyotthāya pūrvāhṇe rāja-putra mahā-pathe
kaccit = do; darśayase = You present Yourself; nityam = everyday; manuṣyāṇām = to the people; vibhūṣitam = and decorate Yourself; utthāya utthāya = after You get up; pūrvāhṇe = in the early morning; rāja-putra = O prince; mahā-pathe = in the royal assembly.
O prince, do You present Yourself to the people in the royal assembly everyday after You get up and decorate Yourself in the early morning?
If the king does not decorate himself and present himself in the morning assembly, the people might become apprehensive about his health.
