आशा धृतिं हन्ति समृद्धिमन्तकः क्रोधः श्रियं हन्ति यशः कदर्यता । अपालनं हन्ति पशूंश्च राजन्नेकः क्रुद्धो ब्राह्मणो हन्ति राष्ट्रम्॥५-४०-७॥
Unbounded expectation destroys steadfastness; a ruinous force destroys prosperity. Anger destroys well-being; miserliness destroys renown. Neglect of protection destroys the livestock, O king; and a single enraged brāhmaṇa can bring a kingdom to ruin.
