[INDOLOGY] Source of "nAdevo devam arcayet"

[Walter Slaje]

This is interesting, as Maṅkha cherishes the opposite opinion, according to
which no human (ruler), but only god, deserves praise - by man, e.g.:

*mahat kaṣṭam aho hitvā yac charvaṃ sarvataḥśrutim*[1] <#_ftn1>* |*

*garvānavadhibādhiryo nareṇa stūyate naraḥ* || Śrīkaṇṭhacarita 25.6 ||

------------------------------

[1] <#_ftnref1> sarvataḥśrutim (em.)]* sarvataḥ śrutim *Ed.

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
