A king, who wishes to have accomplished servants should never appoint persons who are shorn of intelligence, who are low-minded, who are without wisdom, who are not masters of their senses, and who are not highly born.
न बालिशा न च क्षुद्रा नाप्राज्ञा नाजितेन्द्रियाः। नाकुलीना नराः सर्वे स्थाप्या गुणगणैषिणा॥
