तस्माद् अरि षड् वर्ग त्यागेन इन्द्रिय जयं कुर्वीत, वृद्ध सम्योगेन प्रज्ञाम्, चारेण चक्षुः, उत्थानेन योग क्षेम साधनम्, कार्य अनुशासनेन स्वधर्म स्थापनम्, विनयं विद्या उपदेशेन, लोक प्रियत्वम् अर्थ सम्योगेन वृत्तिम् ॥

HENCE by overthrowing the aggregate of the six enemies, he shall restrain the organs of sense; acquire wisdom by keeping company with the aged; see through his spies; establish safety and security by being ever active; maintain his subjects in the observance of their respective duties by exercising authority; keep up his personal discipline by receiving lessons in the sciences; and endear himself to the people by bringing them in contact with wealth and doing good to them.
