English Scholarly Translation
The king that aided by his own intelligence as well as his counsellors act after reflection in consonance with the science of polity, that distinguish his friends from his foes), and, O lord of the Raksasas, that seasonably' pursue righteousness, or profit, or desire, or any two, or all these combined-truly has understanding.? 1. Religion is to be sought in the morning, profit in the afternoon, and desire at nigh, so the commentator. 2. One is at sea in the midst of these formless generalities. The tantalized intellect makes a desperate attempt to grasp the body of the shadow seeming substance, but the empty air mocks his pains. A translator, however, is fast bound to the oar and must pull on, will be, nil he.
