Sanskrit Text

असूयन्ति हि राजानो जनाननृतवादिनः तथैव चावमन्यन्ते मन्त्रिणं वादिनं मृषा

English Translation

Unasked no one should even offer a counsel to the king; one should pay respect to never him with reticence and homage in time. Kings wish to have those who babble and hate counsellors who tell lies.
