भूमौ निपतितं वीर्यं नोदरे मम ते विभो ।। कुत्र यातं च तद्देव केन दैवेन निह्णुतम् ।। ६ ।।

If he, out of fear, falls at my feet quickly he may not be punished. If a king, competent enough, does not rule firmly he will be harrassed by the subjects. He cannot be a protector.

english translation

bhUmau nipatitaM vIryaM nodare mama te vibho || kutra yAtaM ca taddeva kena daivena nihNutam || 6 ||
