ìAt home as well as in the woods our preceptorís goodwill alone will protect both
you and me as well as those about us. Obedience to oneís father and mother, preceptor
and master is the prop of all virtues, even as ›ea (the lord of serpents) supports the
globe on his head. Therefore, obey their commands yourself and help me do the same,
and be the saviour of the solar race, dear brother. This is the one discipline that bestows
all success upon the striver and like the triple stream of the Ga∆gå, Yamunå and Sarasvat∂
at Prayåga combines fame, salvation and prosperity. Considering this and even though
enduring great hardship make your subjects and your own people happy. My woe has
been shared by all; but your lot will be the hardest for the whole term of my exile. I know
you to be tender-hearted, yet am speaking repugnant words to you; but the time are so
out of joint that this will not be unjustifiable on my part. In hard times good brothers alone
stand one in good stead; it is by oneís arms alone that one parries the strokes even of
a thunderbolt.î (1ó4)

tulas∂ pr∂ti ki r∂ti suni sukabi saråhahiÚ soi.306.
ìServants should be like hands, feet and eyes; while a master should be like a
mouth.* Hearing of this (ideal) way of love (between a master and his servants) good
poets offer their tribute to the same.î (306)
* While hands, feet and eyes minister to the mouth by supplying food to it, the mouth in its turn, though
appearing to accept and appropriate the whole of it to itself, equitably distributes the benefit of it to all the
organs by nourishing and revitalizing them in due proportion, so should a master while taking service from his
servants and giving none to them in return should nourish them and keep them whole.
