You have described also the duties of kings, and discoursed on their treasures, the means of filling them, and on the subject of conquest and victory. You have also described the characteristics of ministers, the measures that secure the prosperity of the subjects, the characteristics of the six limbs of a kingdom, the qualities of armies, the means of marking out the wicked, and the marks of the good, the attributes of those that are equal, those that are inferior, and those that are superior, the conduct which a king seeking selfaggrandisement should follow towards the masses, and the manner in which the weak should be protected and cherished. You have described all these subjects, O Bharata, delivering instructions sanctioned by the scriptures.
