कश्चन अविवेकी, उद्धतः, कोपशीलः, विलासी च राजा प्रजाभ्यः अधिकं करं स्वीकरोति स्म । अथ कदाचित् सञ्चरन्तौ राजपुत्रौ अश्वाभ्याम् पतितवन्तौ । राजपुत्रौ इति ज्ञात्वा जनाः तयोः साहाय्यं न कृतवन्तः । 'भवतोः पिता अस्मान् पीडयन् अस्ति । निर्गच्छताम् इतः' इति अवदन् । अग्रे गच्छन्तौ तौ वृषभेन तुम्फनं प्राप्य व्रणितं निर्धनं बालकमेकं शुश्रूषया सत्कृत्य गृहं प्रापितवतः जनान् दृष्टवन्तौ । प्रासादम् आगतौ पुत्रौ राजानं प्रवृत्तं सर्वं विदितवन्तौ । एतत् श्रुत्वा राजा जनानां प्रीतेः सम्पादनार्थं प्रयत्नम् आरब्धवान् । विवेकेन शासनपरिष्कारं कृत्वा सः श्रेष्ठः राजा इति ख्यातः जातः । स एव चालुक्यचक्रवर्ती षष्ठः विक्रमादित्यः ।

A foolish, arrogant, short-tempered, and indulgent king imposed heavy taxes on his subjects. One day, his two sons, while riding, fell off their horses. Seeing them, people refused to help them, saying, ‘Your father oppresses us. Leave this place!’. As the two continued on their journey, they came across a wounded, impoverished boy struck by a bull. The people compassionately treated his injuries and brought him home. Upon returning to the palace, they informed the king of what had transpired. Hearing this, the king realized his mistakes and began efforts to earn his people's goodwill. Reforming his governance with wisdom, he became a revered ruler, known as Chalukya Emperor Vikramaditya VI.
