Sanskrit Text

स्वासु प्रकृतिषु छिद्रं लक्षयेरन्परस्य मन्त्रिणो मन्त्रमूलं हि राज्ञो राष्ट्रं विवर्धते

English Translation

Ministers should be employed in noticing the shortcomings of their masters, of themselves, of the subject, and of the foes of their masters. The kingdom depends upon the counsels of policy which the ministers give, and its growth originates from the same source.
