कार्याणि works, नानुतिष्ठति he does not do, भयेषु fear, न बिभेति च not afraid of, क्षिप्रम् surely, राज्यात् from the kingdom, च्युतः toppled down, दीनः wretched, तृणैः with a blade of grass, तुल्यः equal, भविष्यति will be.
English Commentary
A king who does not do what ought to be done, does not fear what ought to be feared, will surely be dislodged from the kingdom and live a wretched life like a blade of grass.
