The king should see that his own spies are not made out by his enemy. He should appoint atheists and ascetics as spies and despatch them to kingdom of his enemies. Sinful thieves, who violate the laws of virtue and who are thorns with every person, enter gardens and places of amusement and houses set up for giving drinking water to thirsty travellers and public restaurants and drinking spots and houses of ill fame and Tirthas and public assemblies. These should be recognised and arrested and suppressed.
चारस्त्वविदितः कार्य आत्मनोऽथ परस्य च। पाषण्डांस्तापसादींश्च परराष्ट्र प्रवेशयेत्॥ उद्यानेषु विहारेषु प्रपास्वावसथेषु च। पानागारे प्रवेशेषु तीर्थेषु च सभासु च॥ धर्माभिचारिणः पापाश्चौरा लोकस्य कण्टकाः। समागच्छन्ति तान् बुद्धवा नियच्छेच्छमयीत च॥
