He is verily a true friend of the king, who, having done a good
service to king and having performed difficult to accomplish says
nothing about it through modesty.30
If the king unhesitatingly entrust the servant with responsible
work and remains silent, then that servant would become
beneficial like second wife.31
He is deserving servant who approaches the king only on his
command, who waits upon at his door, who speaks the truth in a
measured words.鲁
That servant is considered as very good who makes efforts
for the removal of destructive to the interest of the king.33
That servant becomes most useful to the king who does not
think of misfortune to his 'Lord' even if he is beaten or reproved
in harsh words. 34
