Unasked no one should even offer a counsel to the king; one should pay respect to never him with reticence and homage in time. Kings wish to have those who babble and hate counsellors who tell lies.
न चानुशिष्याद् राजानमपृच्छन्तं कदाचन। तूष्णीं त्वेनमुपासीत काले समभिपूजयेत्॥ असूयन्ति हि राजानो जनाननृतवादिनः। तथैव चावमन्यन्ते मन्त्रिणं वादिनं मृषा॥
