satyānṛtā ca paruṣā priya-vādinī ca
hiṃsrā dayālur api cārthaparā vadānyā |
nitya-vyayā pracura-nitya-dhanāgamā ca
vārāṅganeva nṛpa-nītir aneka-rūpā ||
Truthful and untruthful, harsh and speaking sweet words, / cruel and compassionate, greedy for gain and generous, / constantly spending and receiving a perpetual influx of abundant wealth: / statecraft, like a courtesan, wears many forms.
