Men should appoint such a person for administering the State who is full of abundant wealth of all kinds (spiritual as well as material) who with his brave soldiers and army humbles those persons who are devoid of vows of truthfulness and the like, in favor of those who observe them, who punishes those who are unrighteous, who praises the aged virtuous persons and gives up all unrighteous acts, who convinces those who are sceptics, who like the sun that dispels darkness, spreads the light of knowledge everywhere and slays well the wicked. Such a person is the ornament of his family and by appointing him as the administrator of the State, men should discharge their national duties.
