THE MAHABHARATA
"A king who is always soft is violated
on all sides; and the world dreads the
severe ; SO, one should adopt both
( softness and severity).
'व्यसनानि च सर्वाणि त्यजेथा भूरिदक्षिण ॥
"Giver of ample sacrificial gifts! Avoid
all vicious addictions.
'वर्तितव्यं [कुरुश्रेष्ठ] सदा धर्मानुवर्तिना ।
स्वं प्रियं तु परित्यज्य यद्यल्लोकहितं भवेत् ॥
"A king following Dharma must always
stand for whatever is good for the world,
renouncing what is pleasant to himself.
'पुत्रा इव पितुर्गेहे विषये यस्य मानवाः ।
निर्भया विचरिष्यन्ति स राजा राजसत्तमः ॥
"That king is the best king in whose
country, the people move about without
fear, like sons in their father's house.

आत्मा जेयस्सदा राशा ततो जेयाश्च शत्रवः ।
धर्मार्थी प्रतियात् कामक्रोधौ च वर्जयेत् ॥
