It is not seen that they have ever given you evil advice. O king, you too have never injured them. Why should, therefore, these best of men, who are ever truthful, give you wicked advice?
न चोक्तवन्तावश्रेय पुरस्तादपि किंचन। न चाप्यपकृतं किंचिदनयोर्लक्ष्यते त्वयि॥ तावभौ पुरुषव्याघ्रावनागसि नृपे त्वयि। न मन्त्रयेतां त्वच्छ्रेयः कथं सत्यपराक्रमौ॥
