अङ्गिरा उवाच अपि तेऽनामयं स्वस्ति प्रकृतीनां तथाऽऽत्मनः । यथा प्रकृतिभिर्गुप्तः पुमान् राजापि सप्तभिः ।। ६-१४-१७ ।।

sanskrit

The great sage Aṅgirā said: My dear King, I hope that your body and mind and your royal associates and paraphernalia are well. When the seven properties of material nature [the total material energy, the ego and the five objects of sense gratification] are in proper order, the living entity within the material elements is happy. Without these seven elements one cannot exist. Similarly, a king is always protected by seven elements — his instructor (svāmī or guru), his ministers, his kingdom, his fort, his treasury, his royal order and his friends. ।। 6-14-17 ।।
