मन्त्रशक्तिसम्पन्नो हि वन्ध्यबुद्धिरप्रभावो भवति ॥ कZ_०९.१.११ ॥
mantraśaktisampanno hi vandhyabuddhir aprabhāvo bhavati
Pues quien posee el poder del consejo (mantraśakti) pero carece de poder eficaz se vuelve «estéril en el juicio» e ineficaz.
That planning capacity must be paired with instruments of execution; otherwise decisions remain unproductive and governance becomes performative rather than effective.
Either: a ruler with good advisers but no enforcement capacity, or advisers with plans that cannot be operationalized due to weak coercive/administrative apparatus.
