Out of water has arisen fore; and out of Brahma, the Kshatriya; and out of stone, iron. The force of these extend to everything; but it is neutralized of what it is born. Those good people who are born in high families have always a spirit similar to fire. Those born is high families are endued with a forgiving nature; and stay like fire in the wood without showing any outward symptoms. The king, whose intentions cannot be known by outsiders and even by his own officers and who has his eyes everywhere, enjoys long prosperity. One should not speak of what he wants to do, nor show what he has already done. Let not the intention, to do acts to be done either for virtue, worldly good or gratifying desires, be made known to others. Having ascended the top of a mountain or the roof of a palace. Or proceeding to a forest shorn of grass, one should think of his purposes. One who is not a friend, O Bharata, should not be made aware of important secrets. |
