One who is contented and honoured, who is truthful and dignified, who hates wickedness and wicked men, who is conversant with policy and the requirements of time, and who is courageous, should be consulted by the king.
संतुष्टः सम्मतः सत्यः शौटीरो द्वेष्यपापकः। मन्त्रवित् कालविच्छूरः स मन्त्रं श्रोतुमर्हति॥
