Sanskrit Original
।।16.2।।पैशुनं परोपद्रवनिमित्तदोषाणां राजादेः कथनम्।परोपद्रवहेतूनां दोषाणां पेशुनं वचः। राजादेस्तु मदाद्भीतेरदृष्टिर्दर्प उच्यते इत्यभिधानात्। लौल्यं रागःरागो लौल्यं तथा रक्तिः इत्यभिधानात्। अचापलं स्थैर्यम्।चपलश्चञ्चलोऽस्थिरः इत्यभिधानात्।
'Paiśuna' denotes faults that cause harm to others, as in the example of a king. 'Pāropadravahētūnāṃ doṣānāṃ paiśuna' is the wording. From the king comes pride born of intoxication and fear of loss: that is called arrogance. 'Laulyaṃ rāgaḥ' — attachment is laulyam; likewise 'rāgo laukyaḥ' and 'raktiḥ' by designation. 'Achapalaṃ sthairyam' — steadiness is called lack of fickleness; 'capalaś cañcalo'sthairah' by designation.
