18.Being lascivious with women, squandering the self-earned wealth,
hunting the deer-like animals, drinking the unhealthy toddy, playing the scourging gambling, speaking harsh words, and battling often being ill-tempered are the qualities from which if one is off, one is fit for leadership.
19.Not killing other beings, not liking others to do murders, not telling lies, not desiring another's wife, not joining the company of the lowly people, not flapping the ears to hear the secrets of others, and being dumb in speaking bitter words are the sevennatural
qualities, the noble people should have.
20."O, you golden wench! Believing not the words of the women with thin, lightning-like hip, having no lust for a nubile, not being ireful without benefit, not liking to murder any being, being charitable even to cut and give one's limbs and dispense with the hatred on others from one's mind, are the qualities no one has, even in the heaven.
