Keep yourself aloof from the company of ministers whom you have once punished and especially of women, as also from mountains and uneven lands and inaccessible forts and elephants and horses and reptiles. You should never wander in the night, and avoid stinginess, vanity, boastfulness, and anger.
निगृहीतादमात्याच्च स्त्रीभ्यश्चैव विशेषतः। पर्वताद् विषमाद् दुर्गाद्धस्तिनोऽश्वात् सरीसृपात्॥ एतेभ्यो नित्ययत्तः स्यान्नक्तंचर्यां च वर्जयेत्। अत्यागं चाभिमानं च दम्भं क्रोधं च वर्जयेत्॥
