एतान्राजा पालयन्नप्रमत्तो नियोजयन्सर्ववर्णान्स्वधर्मे । अकामात्मा समवृत्तिः प्रजासु नाधार्मिकाननुरुध्येत कामान्॥५-२९-२५॥

Protecting these norms with vigilance, the king should uphold them and set all varṇas in their own proper duties (svadharma). Free from self-serving desire and even-handed toward the subjects, he should not yield to unlawful, dharma-opposed demands.
