धृतराष्ट्रस्य पश्चात्तापः तथा वनप्रस्थानानुज्ञा | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Remorse and Request for Forest-Retirement
'प्रातःकाल उठकर (नित्य नियमसे निवृत्त होनेके बाद) पहले तुम्हें उन लोगोंसे मिलना चाहिये, जो तुम्हारे खर्च-बर्चके कामपर नियुक्त हों। उसके बाद आभूषण पहनने या भोजन करनेके कामपर ध्यान देना चाहिये ।।

毗湿摩波耶那说道：“黎明起身，完成日常仪轨之后，你应先召见那些受命掌管开销与家用支出的官员。其后，再料理佩饰与进食等事。随后，当常加勉励，召见诸武士，振奋其士气。至于会见使者与密探，黄昏暮色之时，向来最为相宜。”

Educational Q&A
A ruler (or leader) should follow disciplined time-management: begin with duty and accountability (daily observances and financial oversight), then personal needs, then morale-building among the troops, and reserve sensitive intelligence work (envoys and spies) for an appropriate, discreet time (evening).
Vaiśampāyana describes a structured daily schedule of leadership: meeting officials responsible for expenses, then attending to personal routines, then visiting and heartening the warriors, and finally holding consultations with envoys and spies at dusk.
