That person who is endued with intelligence and memory, who is smart in transacting business, who is by nature shorn of cruelty, who is never wrathful, and who whether honoured or neglected is never dissatisfied, be he your priest or preceptor or trusted friend, should always receive your adoration if he accepts the office of your counsellor and lives in your palace.
मेधावी स्मृतिमान् दक्षः प्रकृत्या चानृशंस्यवान्। यो मानितोऽमानितो वा न च दुष्येत् कदाचन॥ ऋत्विग्वा यदि वाऽऽचार्यः सखा वात्यन्तसंस्तुतः। गृहे वसेदमात्यस्ते स स्यात् परमपूजितः॥
