गुरु व्यसनं न्याय वृत्तिम् अभियुक्तं प्रकृतयो अनुगृह्णन्ति, लघु व्यसनम् अन्याय वृत्तिम् उपेक्षन्ते, विरक्ता बलवन्तम् अप्य् उच्छिन्दन्ति ॥

When the enemy of virtuous character and under worse troubles is attacked, his subjects will help him; whereas, the subjects of the other of vicious character and under less troubles will be indifferent. Disloyal or indifferent subjects will endeavour to destroy even a strong king.
