Sanskrit Text

नोच्छिन्द्यादात्मनो मूलं परेषां वापि तृष्णया ईहाद्वाराणि संरुध्य राजा संप्रीतिदर्शनः

English Translation

The king should not, by his greediness, destroy his own foundations as well as those of others. He should always avoid those acts for which he may incur the hatred of his people. Indeed, by acting thus he may win popularity.
