यो नियोगी न जानाति नृपभक्तान्वरान् क्षितौ । कृत्स्नायासेन संयुक्तः स तैर्निग्राह्यते पुनः ॥ ११ ॥
yo niyogī na jānāti nṛpabhaktānvarān kṣitau | kṛtsnāyāsena saṃyuktaḥ sa tairnigrāhyate punaḥ || 11 ||
जो नियुक्त अधिकारी पृथ्वीवर राजाचे श्रेष्ठ भक्त ओळखत नाही, तो सर्व प्रकारच्या कष्टांनी युक्त असला तरी शेवटी त्यांच्याच हातून पुन्हा आवरला व दंडित होतो.
