That king, who does not accept the advice of a well-wisher for its being opposed to his own views, who listens with inattention to what is said to him in opposition to his views, and who does not always follow the conduct of high and noble persons conquered or unconquered, deviates from the duties of Kshatriyas.
योऽर्थकामस्य वचनं प्रातिकूल्यान मृष्यते। शृणोति प्रतिकूलानि सर्वदा विमना इव॥ अग्राम्यचरितां वृत्तिं यो न सेवेत नित्यदा। जितानामजितानां च क्षत्रधर्मादपैति सः॥
