26 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे त्रयस्त्रिंशः सर्गः ॥३-३३॥ ततः शूर्पणखा दीना रावणं लोकरावणम्। अमात्यमध्ये संक्रुद्धा परुषं वाक्यमब्रवीत्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, the thirty-third chapter. Then the dejected Śūrpaṇakhā, enraged in the midst of the ministers, spoke harsh words to Ravana, the terror of the world.
प्रमत्तः कामभोगेषु स्वैरवृत्तो निरङ्कुशः। समुत्पन्नं भयं घोरं बोद्धव्यं नावबुध्यसे॥ २॥
You are heedless amid sensual pleasures, acting according to your own will and uncontrolled. You do not understand the terrible danger that has arisen and ought to be understood.
सक्तं ग्राम्येषु भोगेषु कामवृत्तं महीपतिम्। लुब्धं न बहु मन्यन्ते श्मशानाग्निमिव प्रजाः॥ ३॥
People do not esteem highly a king who is attached to vulgar pleasures, whose conduct follows his desires, and who is greedy—just as they do not esteem the fire of a cremation ground.
स्वयं कार्याणि यः काले नानुतिष्ठति पार्थिवः। स तु वै सह राज्येन तैश्च कार्यैर्विनश्यति॥ ४॥
The king who does not personally attend to his duties at the proper time perishes together with his kingdom and those duties.
अयुक्तचारं दुर्दर्शमस्वाधीनं नराधिपम्। वर्जयन्ति नरा दूरान्नदीपङ्कमिव द्विपाः॥ ५॥
People avoid from afar a king without a proper spy network, difficult to approach, and not self-controlled, just as elephants avoid the mud of a river from afar.
