na mantrayeyam anyais te sacivaiḥ saha karhicit | nītimantaḥ parīpsanto vṛthā brūyuḥ pare mayi ||
Translation
Śārṭūla said: “I will never take counsel together with your other ministers. For those ministers, though skilled in policy, would be driven by jealousy and would speak pointless, disparaging things about me to others.”
