And that \[affection\] depends on excellence of character, and that depends on complete propriety. And that \[propriety\] is not present in someone like me as it is in him. And it is that alone, indeed, which deserves sovereignty in subjugating everyone. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.52) - [Next: 1.3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.54) - [Up: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu~en-mt.1.3.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.campu.krsna.gopalacampu.1.3.53) · Pramāṇa
