Those born is high families are endued with a forgiving nature; and stay like fire in the wood without showing any outward symptoms. The king, whose intentions cannot be known by outsiders and even by his own officers and who has his eyes everywhere, enjoys long prosperity. One should not speak of what he wants to do, nor show what he has already done.
क्षमावन्तो निराकाराः काष्ठेऽग्निरिव शेरते। यस्य मन्त्रं न जानन्ति बाहाचाभ्यन्तराश्च ये॥ स राजा सर्वतश्चक्षुश्चिरमैश्वर्यमश्नुते। करिष्यन् न प्रभाषेत कृतान्येव तु दर्शयेत्॥
