7.20.5

viśvāmitra uvāca -
kutaste bhavitā rājan dhanaprāptirataḥ param |
gataṃ rājyaṃ tathā kośo balaṃ caivārthasādhanam ||

Vis’vâmitra said:-- “O King! Kingdom, treasury and strength are the three sources of income; but you are now deprived of all these. Whence, now, do you expect to get gold? O King! Vain are your hopes to get money; what am I to do now? You are now wealthless and how can I, out of greed, give you trouble? O King! Better say ‘I will not be able to give you Daksinâ,’ and I will then quit my strong expectation and go away as I like. And you, too, can think that you have no gold, so how can you give money and so you can go wherever you like with your wife and son.”
