अराज बीजी लुब्धः क्षुद्र परिषत्को विरक्त प्रकृतिर् अन्याय वृत्तिर् अयुक्तो व्यसनी निरुत्साहो दैव प्रमाणो यत् किंचन कार्य गतिर् अननुबन्धः क्लीबो नित्य अपकारी च इत्य् अमित्र सम्पत् ॥

Not born of a royal family, greedy, possessed of a mean assembly of ministers, with disloyal subjects, ever doing unrighteous acts, of loose character, addicted to mean pleasures, devoid of enthusiasm, trusting to fate, indiscreet in action, powerless, helpless, impotent, and ever injurious, is the worst enemy.
