As Indra sends copious rain during the four months of the rainy season, even so let the king, taking upon himself the office of Indra, shower benefits on his kingdom.

Let the king who sees ,everything through his spies, discover the two sorts of thieves who deprive others of their property, both those who ,show themselves openly and those who ,lie concealed.

If he is asked, let him always give something, be it ever so little, without grudging, for a worthy recipient will ,perhaps be found who saves him from all ,guilt .

The copious rainfall last season was then followed by a drought for six months. That rainfall brought up brush and grass, but now it's dry.

As the male is to whom a wife cleaves, even so is the son whom she brings forth, let him therefore carefully guard his wife, in order to keep his offspring pure.

The king shall cause a goldsmith who behaves dishonestly, the most nocuous of all the thorns, to be cut to pieces with razors.
