TRANSLATION
Sagara Maharaja, following the order of his spiritual master,
Aurva, did not kill the uncivilized men like the Talajanghas,
Yavanas, Sakas, Haihayas and Barbaras. Instead, some of them he
made dress awkwardly, some of them he shaved clean but allowed
to wear mustaches, some of them he left wearing loose hair, some
he half shaved, some he left without underwear, and some without
external garments. Thus these different clans were made to dress
differently, but King Sagara did not kill them.
