बलं च सुभृतं वीर हृष्टतुष्टमनुद्धतम्। संभाषासंप्रदानेन रञ्जयस्व नरोत्तम॥ न ह्यास्तत्र तिष्ठन्ति न दारा न च बान्धवाः। सुप्रीतो भृत्यवर्गस्तु यत्र तिष्ठति राघव॥
balaṃ ca subhṛtaṃ vīra hṛṣṭatuṣṭamanuddhatam| saṃbhāṣāsaṃpradānena rañjayasva narottama|| na hyāstatra tiṣṭhanti na dārā na ca bāndhavāḥ| suprīto bhṛtyavargastu yatra tiṣṭhati rāghava||
English Meaning
Do you so act, O hero, that soldiers might be well-fed and delighted and be not annoyed with you. Do you please them with sweet words, for the servants, when they face enemies, have not with them friends or wives—and so they are pleased, O Rāghava when they receive sufficient food and presents.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
