English Translation
राजानम् king, मानुषम् to be a man, प्राहुः is said (by the wise), यस्य whose, धर्मार्धसहितम् in conformity with righteousness and state craft, वृत्तम् conduct, अमानुषम् beyond human capacity, आहुः they say, मम my, देवत्वे godly, सम्मतः has been claimed.
English Commentary
Other think the king to be a human, but to me, he is divine since his conduct and the statecraft are superhuman as they are in conformity with righteousness.
