9. I hope you do not hinder natural law (dharma) for the sake of material pursuits (artha), nor material pursuits for the sake of natural law (dharma). Do you not obstruct both out of mere desire (kāma), but rather through a core of affection?

14. kaccit na tarkaiḥ dūtaiḥ vā ye ca api apariśaṅkitāḥ
tvattaḥ vā tava vā amātyaiḥ bhidyate jātu mantritam
