He should minister to every ones comfort in his state The king who brings about weakness of his subjects out of delusion goes to rack and ruin and he is deprived of his kingdom and his brethren As a nourished calf becomes fit to carry loads so is a very well looked after State able to bear the weight of regality The king who is kind to his subjects assures the permanency of his rule and achieves great objects! The King should carefully protect by all means gold grains and land in his Empire and bring them under his control As a father and a mother well guard their sons, so a king should well guard his senses from his own persons and from others He should always enjoy by his senses kept well under control—40-44
