TRANSLATION
The reciters continued: No one will be able to understand the policies
the King will follow. His activities will also be very confidential, and it will
not be possible for anyone to know how he will make every activity suc-
cessful. His treasury will always remain unknown to everyone. He will be
the reservoir of unlimited glories and good qualities, and his position will
be maintained and covered just as Varuna, the deity of the seas, is covered
all around by water.
