Transliteration

anuyuñjīta kṛtyāni sarvāṇy eva mahīpatiḥ | āgamair upadiṣṭāni svasya caiva parasya ca ||

Translation

Wika ni Bhishma: Dapat pag-ukulan ng hari ang sarili sa lahat ng tungkulin at kinakailangang gawain na itinatakda ng mga aral na may kapangyarihan—yaong ukol sa sariling asal at yaong ukol sa iba—upang ang pamamahala’y nakasalig sa disiplina at dharma ayon sa śāstra, hindi sa kapritso ng sarili.
