rājā vṛkṣo brāhmaṇāstasya mūlaṃ bhṛtyāḥ parṇā mantriṇastasya śākhāḥ /
tasmān mūlaṃ yatnato rakṣaṇīyaṃ mūle gupte nāsti vṛkṣasya nāśaḥ //
The king is a tree, brāhmaṇas are its root, servants are the leaves, and ministers are its branches; / therefore the root must be protected with effort, for when the root is protected, there is no destruction of the tree.
