Ruin would befall everything if the king did not observe the duty of protection. Wicked men would by force appropriate the cars, dresses, ornaments, precious stones and other kinds of property belonging to others, if the king did not protect.
विष्वग्लोपः प्रवर्तेत यदि राजा न पालयेत्॥ ममेदमिति लोकेऽस्मिन् न भवेत् सम्परिग्रहः। यानं वस्त्रमलङ्कारान् रत्नानि विविधानि च।
