Sanskrit Text

हिंस्यात्परवित्तानि देयं काले दापयेत् विक्रान्तः सत्यवाक्क्षान्तो नृपो चलते पथः

English Translation

The king should not hanker after the wealth of others. He should in time give what should be given. If the king be comes endued with prowess, truthful in speech, and forgiving in temper, he would never be shorn of prosperity.
