When a minister, a physician and a religious preceptoró these three use pleasing
words from fear or hope of reward, the result is that dominion, health and faithóall the
three forthwith go to the dogs. (37)

It was such a contingency that presented itself before Råvaƒa. They all extolled
him only to his face. Perceiving it to be an opportune hour, Vibh∂aƒa (Råvaƒaís
youngest brother) arrived and bowed his head at his brotherís feet. Bowing his head
once more he occupied his own seat and, when ordered to speak, addressed him thus:
ìSince Your gracious Majesty has asked me my opinion I tender it, dear brother,
according to my own lights and in your own interest. Let him who seeks after his welfare,
good reputation, wisdom, a good destiny after his death and joys of various kinds turn
his eyes away from the brow of anotherís wife even as one should refuse to see the
moon on the fourth night (of the bright half) of a lunar month. Even though a man
happened to be the sole lord of the fourteen spheres, he would certainly fall if he turned
hostile to living beings. No one will speak well of a man who has the slightest avarice
even if he were an ocean of virtues and clever too.

Do.: kåma krodha mada lobha saba nåtha naraka ke pa≈tha,
saba parihari raghub∂rahi bhajahu bhajahiÚ jehi sa≈ta.38.
ìLust, anger, vanity and covetousness are all paths leading to hell. Abjuring, all
these adore the Hero of Raghuís line, whom saints worship. (38)
