Shloka 30
भविष्यतीत्येव मन: कृत्वा सततमव्यथै: । सफलता होगी ही, ऐसा मनमें दृढ़ विश्वास लेकर निरन्तर विषादरहित होकर तुझे उठना, सजग होना और एऐश्वर्यकी प्राप्ति करानेवाले कर्मोमें लग जाना चाहिये ।। मड़लानि पुरस्कृत्य ब्राह्मुणांश्रैश्वरै: सह,वत्स! देवताओंसहित ब्राह्मणोंका पूजन तथा अन्यान्य मांगलिक कार्य सम्पन्न करके प्रत्येक कार्यका आरम्भ करनेवाले बुद्धिमान् राजाकी शीघ्र उन्नति होती है। जैसे सूर्य अवश्य ही पूर्वदिशाका आश्रय ले उसे प्रकाशित करते हैं, उसी प्रकार राजलक्ष्मी पूर्वोक्त राजाको सब ओसरसे प्राप्त होकर उसे यश एवं तेजसे सम्पन्न कर देती है
bhaviṣyatīty eva manaḥ kṛtvā satatam avyathaiḥ | (vat-sa) utthātavyaṃ prabodhitavyaṃ ca tvayā, aiśvaryaprāptikaraṇeṣu karmasu ca niyoktavyam || maṅgalāni puraskṛtya brāhmaṇān devatābhiḥ saha (pūjayitvā), anyāni ca maṅgalakriyāḥ sampādya, sarvakāryārambhakṛd buddhimān rājā śīghram unnatiṃ gacchati | yathā sūryaḥ pūrvadiśam āśritya niyataṃ prakāśayati, tathā rājaśrīr api tam eva rājānam sarvataḥ prāpya yaśasā tejasā ca sampādayati ||
Fix your mind on the certainty that success will come. Remaining continually free from dejection, rise up, stay alert, and apply yourself to those actions that bring sovereignty and prosperity. A wise king who begins every undertaking by first performing auspicious rites—honouring the Brahmins together with the gods and completing other benedictory observances—quickly attains advancement. Just as the sun surely takes refuge in the eastern quarter and illumines it, so too royal fortune comes to such a king from every side and endows him with fame and splendour.

Educational Q&A
Maintain firm confidence in success, avoid despondency, and act with vigilance; for rulers, prosperity is linked to disciplined effort joined with auspicious, dharmic beginnings—especially honouring Brahmins and the divine.
A son counsels (or exhorts) a kingly figure: rise from grief, engage in prosperity-bringing duties, and begin undertakings with auspicious worship; he reinforces the advice with a simile of the sun illuminating the east, paralleling how royal fortune comes to the properly conducting king.
