My disciples who are kings must govern in accordance to the commands stated in the scriptures. They should regard each of their subjects as their own children and take care of them accordingly. Religion should be established and maintained throughout their land. (Slok 157)

Kings should be familiar with all the different aspects of governing, such as creating and maintaining relevant policies, social decorum etc. A good king should have the instincts to recognise a person's nature from their mannerisms and thus distinguish the wise, practical, virtuous people from others. They should be able to determine who is guilty and who is innocent in judicial disputes. (Slok 158)
