Chaupai Text
सत्यकेतु कुल कोउ नहिं बाँचा। बिप्रश्राप किमि होइ असाँचा॥ रिपु जिति सब नृप नगर बसाई। निज पुर गवने जय जसु पाई॥ ४ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
satyaketu kula kou nahiṃ bāṃcā। bipraśrāpa kimi hoi asāṃcā॥ ripu jiti saba nṛpa nagara basāī। nija pura gavane jaya jasa pāī॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
No one was left in Satyaketu's line. How could the Brahmins' curse be false? After conquering the enemy and reestablishing the city, all the kings, gaining victory and fame, returned to their own cities.
