प्रचार चरित्र संस्थानान्य् अनुपलभमानो हि प्रकृतः समुदयम् अज्ञानेन परिहापयति, उत्थान क्लेश असहत्वाद् आलस्येन, शब्दादिष्व् इन्द्रिय अर्थेषु प्रसक्तः प्रमादेन, संक्रोश अधर्म अनर्थ भीरु भायेन, कार्य अर्थिष्व् अनुग्रह बुद्धिः कामेन, हिंसा बुद्धिः कोपेन, विद्या द्रव्य वल्लभ अपाश्रयाद् दर्पेण, तुला मान तर्क गणित अन्तर उपधानात् लोभेन ॥

sanskrit

A government officer, not caring to know the information gathered by espionage and neglecting to supervise the despatch of work in his own department as regulated, may occasion loss of revenue to the government owing to his ignorance, or owing to his idleness when he is too weak to endure the trouble of activity, or due to inadvertence in perceiving sound and other objects of sense, or by being timid when he is afraid of clamour, unrighteousness, and untoward results, or owing to selfish desire when he is favourably disposed towards those who are desirous to achieve their own selfish ends, or by cruelty due to anger, or by lack of dignity when he is surrounded by a host of learned and needy sycophants, or by making use of false balance, false measures, and false calculation owing to greediness.
