na tv evaitān prayuñjīta rājā loka-hite rataḥ. nigṛhītāri-ṣaḍ-vargas tathā vijayate mahīm((152))..
"A King, who has conquered the six enemies of mankind, becomes the master of the whole earth."
"The above and other ways are the means employed in different countries by Kings with regards to the wives of other persons. But a King, who has the welfare of his people at heart, should not on any account put them into practice."
