Sanskrit Text

इतीदमुक्तं वृजिनाभिसंहितं; चैतदेवं पुरुषः समाचरेत् परप्रयुक्तं तु कथं निशामये;दतो मयोक्तं भवतो हितार्थिना

English Translation

A king should not always act in this way. The course of conduct that I have pointed out should be followed only in times of distress. Actuated with the desire of doing you good I have said this for instructing you as to how you should act when attacked by enemies.
