The self is not pleased either by oneself or others; I see your face pale with worry—clearly, your desires remain unfulfilled.
One who examines his own strength and proceeds with courage and pride can vanquish even many enemies—like Bhargava (Parashurama) did.
In self-defense, protecting the weak, or in righteous war, one who kills does not incur sin—especially for warriors.
Your valor brings fame, evokes fear among enemies and admiration among friends—such is the strength of a king’s arm.
One who fails to judge the strength and weakness of self and others is bound to be scorned by enemies.
If one is not fickle even toward oneself, how can he be towards others? Fickleness ruins all endeavors without doubt.
The ideal king first sees his own and his subjects’ faults. He restrains himself first, then his servants, and finally the people.
Let one seek their true self through controlled mind, intellect, and senses. For the self is both friend and enemy of the self.
With a mind engrossed in evil, one commits sin and later suffers great distress due to those very actions.
One who desires a long life should not accept names of self, guru, or extremely unfortunate ones as names for their children or belongings.
