Meaning: For the rotation / setting in motion of the wheel of Righteousness (Dharma).Meaning: That is not an assembly where there are no Elder (Wise) men. Those are not elders who do not speak with righteousness. That is no righteousness where there is no truth. That is not the truth which leads one to deceit.Meaning: One must not enter either an Assembly Hall, or he must speak there with all righteousness; for one who does not speak, or one who speaks falsely, does himself in equal sin involve.Meaning: “Kindness, Friendliness to all, Charity and Sweet Tongue” — such a coincidence has not been found (in one object) in all the three worlds.Meaning: That Ruler must ever have true intelligence, and he must never be a self-willed man. All subject to the counsellors must he entrust, must sit in assembly and abide by good counsel.Meaning: In the happiness of the people lies the happiness of the king; their welfare is his welfare.Meaning: “This is my own and that is alien” — such is the calculation of narrow-minded people; but for those of noble character, the whole world is one family.
