Translated Text:

Seizing such spoils,
even the sagacious princes
have long been devoting their minds and efforts.
They have, thus, resorted to help the wrongful.
Fired by the wisdom-wasting drink,
they have declared that the world must be destroyed.

Commentary:

The Kavi princes, although men of knowledge, were cooperating with the practicing priests in exploiting people. The two had a common interest-exploitation. Thus the rulers were helping the wrongful. Addicted to “haoma”, the instant intoxicating drink prepared ceremoniously to give “pep”, their aggressive mood was destroying the world.

Pondering Point:

“Greed will blind many people by setting their minds on committing evil to amass wealth.”
