Furthermore, the Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra says: “Great King, you should know that there are ten faults of a king. What are the ten? First, his clan and lineage are not noble. Second, he does not attain sovereignty. Third, his established nature is cruel and evil. Fourth, his arousal of anger is fierce. Fifth, his grace and benevolence are meager. Sixth, he accepts crooked and flattering words. Seventh, in whatever he undertakes, he does not deliberate and does not accord with proper norms. Eighth, he does not care for wholesome phenomena. Ninth, he does not discern differences and forgets the kindness done for him. Tenth, he indulges himself completely and exclusively practices negligence.”
