Oh ! Bharata the well guarded advice of ministers, learned in scriptures and capable of proper counselling, is the root of victory for kings, specially when the advice is kept in confidence. [2-100-16]
I trust you are not under the grip of sleep but wake up at appropriate times, I hope you always think of the means of judicious statecraft during the last part of the night. [2-100-17]
Oh ! Bharata, having determined on an endeavour involving a little effort and yielding great results, I trust you commence to execute it quickly without procrastination? [2-100-19]
कच्चित्तु सुकृतान्येव कृतरूपाणि वा पुनः | विदुस्ते सर्वकार्याणि न कर्तव्यानि पार्थिवाः || २-१००-२०
I trust, other kings come to know of your endeavours only when your endeavours suceed or about to succeed. I hope, efforts intended to be made in future are not revealed to them beforehand. [2-100-20]
