Adhyaya 34 — Madālāsā’s Instruction on Sadācāra (Householder Conduct, Purity, and Daily Rites)
ऋणप्रदाता वैद्यश्च श्रोत्रियः सजला नदी ।
जितामित्रो नृपो यत्र बलवान् धर्मतत्परः ॥
ṛṇapradātā vaidyaśca śrotriyaḥ sajalā nadī / jitāmitro nṛpo yatra balavān dharmatatparaḥ
जिथे कर्ज देणारा, वैद्य, विद्वान् श्रोत्रिय आणि जलयुक्त नदी असते, तसेच राजा बलवान, धर्मनिष्ठ व शत्रूंना जिंकणारा/वश करणारा असतो—तोच देश निवासयोग्य आहे।
