1.19.2

pramādyantam anupramādyanti //

IF a king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic. If he is reckless, they will not only be reckless likewise, but also eat into his works. Besides, a reckless king will easily fall into the hands of his enemies. Hence the king shall ever be wakeful.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
