That king, who, taken away by his natural propensities and proclivities, become devoted to evil companions, and flatters wicked men for his being under the influence of his senses, find all servants of good birth and blood displeased with him. Such a king never gets those objects the accomplishment of which depends upon one's having a number of good servants about him.
यो ह्यसत्प्रग्रहरतिः स्नेहरागबलात्कृतः। इन्द्रियाणामनीशत्वादसज्जनबुभूषकः॥ तस्य भृत्या विगुणतां यान्ति सर्वे कुलोद्गताः। न च भृत्यफलैरथैः स राजा सम्प्रयुज्यते॥
