नास्तिक्यमनृतं क्रोधं प्रमादं दीर्घसूत्रताम्। अदर्शनं ज्ञानवतामालस्यं पञ्चवृत्तिताम्॥ एकचिन्तनमर्थानामनर्थज्ञैश्च मन्त्रणम्। निश्चितानामनारम्भं मन्त्रस्यापरिरक्षणम्॥ मङ्गलाद्यप्रयोगं च प्रत्युत्थानं च सर्वतः। कच्चित् त्वं वर्जयस्येतान् राजदोषांश्चतुर्दश॥

English Meaning
Atheism, untruthfulness, inattention, anger, procrastination, companionship with evil persons, indolence, gratification of the senses, consultation with a single person concerning the needs of a kingdom, taking counsel with those that are cognisant of evils alone, omission to take in hand a task that has been decided upon, divulgence of counsel, non-commencement of a course in the morning, and marching against all the foes at one and the same time, have you eschewed these ten and four faults?
