The king should also, O king, seek out good warriors possessed the necessary qualifications, for helping him in protecting his kingdom. A king, who seeks his own advancement, should never disregard his army. That king, whose soldiers are brave in battle, grateful in conduct, and well-read in the scriptures, whose army consists of infantry thoroughly versed in the works on religion and duty, whose elephant-warriors are brave, whose car-warriors are skilled in their own mode of fighting and well-versed in discharging arrows and in holding other weapons, succeeds in subjugating the whole Earth.
