विक्रम चरित (उज्जैन सम्राट् विक्रमादित्य - पराक्रम, न्याय एवं ३२ पुतलियों की कथा सटीक)

264 juck usurped the throne, it was “as a roaring lion and a raging bear” that this wicked ruler lorded it over the poor people. Nothing but complaints of injustice and the most iniquitous proceedings were to be heard on all sides; and the distress of the people was heavy, increased as it was in a great measure by the recollection of what they had been accustomed to under the mild and just rule of the generous Vickramadetea. But there was now to be an end of all this: the tyrant had gone to his account, and the rightful owner of the throne was once more amongst them! One of the first acts of Vickramadetea, after he had assumed the reins of government, was to reinstate all those who had been unjustly ousted from their places, and to restore the properties of all who had been deprived of them. Vickramadetea was aware how his subjects had suffered during his absence, and he hastened to do them the most ample justice. He rewarded his tried friends and trusty vassals in the most profuse manner, and his friend Somedut came in for a handsome pension—handsomer far than his most sanguine expectation could have pictured—after which he retired, with the most profound feeling of gratitude, love, and regard for the generous donor.
