அழக்கொண்ட எல்லாம் அழப்போம் இழப்பினம்
பிற்பயக்கும் நற்பா லவை. (68)
The deliberations in the council must necessarily culminate in decisions and they must in turn be implemented without undue delay. The public works both civil and military, when undertaken by the Government, must serve as stepping stone for further chain of activities and they should not be left incomplete. Otherwise they will develop themselves into causes for misunderstanding and revolt in the minds of the public against the Government. In dealing with the neighbouring kings, such as will ensure friendly relations have to be done as quickly as possible; but quicker must be those which help to placate the enemies. It is but natural that kings of weak stuff get terror-struck at the sight of the big powers and in order that the king may be relieved of the fear, the ministers must not hesitate to bend their knees before- those powers and win their friendly alliance.
