deśakālavidhānena dravyaṃ śraddhāsamanvitam
pātre pradīyate yat tu tad dharmasya prasādhanam //
samottamādhamai rājā tv āhūtaḥ pālayan prajāḥ
na nivarteta saṃgrāmāt kṣātraṃ dharmam anusmaran //
A king who, while he protects his people, is defied by (foes), be they equal in strength, or stronger, or weaker, must not shrink from battle, remembering the duty of Kshatriyas.
