Atheism, untruthfulness, inattention, anger, procrastination, companionship with evil persons, indolence, gratification of the senses, consultation with a single person concerning the needs of a kingdom, taking counsel with those that are cognisant of evils alone, omission to take in hand a task that has been decided upon, divulgence of counsel, non-commencement of a course in the morning, and marching against all the foes at one and the same time, have you eschewed these ten and four faults?
नास्तिक्यमनृतं क्रोधं प्रमादं दीर्घसूत्रताम्। अदर्शनं ज्ञानवतामालस्यं पञ्चवृत्तिताम्॥ एकचिन्तनमर्थानामनर्थज्ञैश्च मन्त्रणम्। निश्चितानामनारम्भं मन्त्रस्यापरिरक्षणम्॥ मङ्गलाद्यप्रयोगं च प्रत्युत्थानं च सर्वतः। कच्चित् त्वं वर्जयस्येतान् राजदोषांश्चतुर्दश॥
