धर्ममर्थं च कामं च काले यस्तु निषेवते॥ विभज्य सततं वीर स राजा हरिसत्तम। हित्वा धर्मं तथाऽर्थं च कामं यस्तु निषेवते॥ स वृक्षाग्रे यथा सुप्तः पतितः प्रतिबुध्यते।
dharmamarthaṃ ca kāmaṃ ca kāle yastu niṣevate|| vibhajya satataṃ vīra sa rājā harisattama| hitvā dharmaṃ tathā'rthaṃ ca kāmaṃ yastu niṣevate|| sa vṛkṣāgre yathā suptaḥ patitaḥ pratibudhyate|
English Meaning
He, O best of monkeys, is a king who, O hero, in season follows righteousness, pleasure and profit, always dividing the same (among all). He that, renouncing righteousness and the good, devotes himself to pleasure solely, is like a man that falling asleep on the top of a tree, wakes when he has fallen down.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
