[य] न तुल्यतेजाः सुकृतं कामयेत; यॊगक्षेमं पार्थिव पार्थिवः सन दैवादेशाद आपदं पराप्य विद्वांश; चरेन नृशंसं न हि जातु राजा ।। १-८७-१६ ।।

sanskrit

'Yayati said, 'A king, despite being a ruler, should not desire the well-being obtained through unrighteous means, nor should he covet the prosperity of another. Even if faced with adversity by divine ordinance, a wise king should never engage in cruel actions, for no true monarch ever would.'' ।। 1-87-16 ।।
