Sutra 8
Devanagari script
वैराज्यं तु जीवतः परस्याच्छिद्य नैतन्मम इति मन्यमानः कर्शयति अपवाहयति पण्यं वा करोति विरक्तं वा परित्यज्यापगच्छतीति ॥ कZ_०८.२.०८ ॥
Transliteration
vairājyaṃ tu jīvataḥ parasyācchidya naitan mama iti manyamānaḥ karśayati apavāhayati paṇyaṃ vā karoti viraktaṃ vā parityajyāpagacchatīti
Translation
But one who seizes a share of kingship while the other is still alive—thinking “this is not mine”—either exhausts the realm, siphons off resources, turns public goods into private trade, or, once disaffected, abandons it and departs.
