नाब्राह्मणस तात चिरं बुभूषेद; इच्छान्न इमं लॊकम अमुं च जेतुम विनीतधर्मार्थम अपेतमॊहं; लब्ध्वा दविजं नुदति नृपः सपत्नान ॥ ३-२७-११ ॥
'O child, one who wishes to conquer this world and the next should never be without Brahmanas. Indeed, a king, having obtained a Brahmana who is knowledgeable in both religion and worldly matters, and who is free from passion and delusion, can overcome his enemies.' ॥ 3-27-11 ॥

अनूनम आसीद असुरस्य कामैर; वैरॊचनेः शरीर अपि चाक्षयासीत लब्ध्वा महीं बराह्मण संप्रयॊगात; तेष्व आचरन दुष्टम अतॊ वयनश्यत ॥ ३-२७-१३ ॥

नाब्राह्मणं भूमिर इयं सभूतिर; वर्णं दवितीयं भजते चिराय समुद्रनेमिर नमते तु तस्मै; यं बराह्मणः शास्ति नयैर विनीतः ॥ ३-२७-१४ ॥
'This earth, with all her wealth, does not remain loyal for long to a Kshatriya who lives without the guidance of a Brahmana. However, she, who is surrounded by the ocean, bows in reverence to him who is guided and instructed by a Brahmana.' ॥ 3-27-14 ॥
