9.305

aṣṭau māsān yathādityas toyaṃ harati raśmibhiḥ
tathā haret karaṃ rāṣṭrān nityam arkavrataṃ hi tat //

As the Sun during eight months (imperceptibly) draws up the water with his rays, even so let him gradually draw his taxes from his kingdom; for that is the office in which he resembles the Sun.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
