Above all sins, father, two are supreme sins: / one is a king with bad ministers, and the second is relying upon him. (50) / Where a king is devoid of discernment, a minister turns his neck away from the virtuous, / and the wicked are powerful, what opportunity is there for the good? (51) / Even when deprived of wealth, a king should be served if he possesses qualities worthy of service; / from him comes livelihood, and its fruit comes even after some time.' (52)
