3.52

arthānām īśiṣe tvaṃ vayam api ca girām īśmahe yāvad arthaṃ
śūras tvaṃ vādi-darpa-vyupaśamana-vidhāva-kṣayaṃ pāṭavaṃ naḥ |
sevante tvāṃ dhanāḍhyā matimalahatayemām api śrotu-kāmāmayy
apy āsthā na te cet tvayi mama nitarām eva rājann anāsthā ||

You rule over wealth, and we rule over words to the extent of their meaning; / you are a hero, and our skill in subduing the arrogance of opponents is inexhaustible; / the rich serve you, while those desirous of hearing [words] to dispel the mind's impurities serve me: / if you have no regard for me, O king, I have no regard for you whatsoever.
