बार्हस्पत्य सूत्र / अर्थशास्त्र (महर्षि बृहस्पति - प्राचीन दण्डनीति, राजधर्म एवं कूटनीति सटीक)

( 6 )
70 A mean Brâhman not with a shake of the
head, even if he brings a present;
71 A like prince or emperor with welcome, with
a seat, with a shake of the head, with gift of betel
and with jocular talk;
72 Men of the three castes with a smile, with
welcome, and audience (?);
73 Shûdras not with a glance or smile nor with
welcome;
74 Children, the aged, and so forth, with giving
of something which they like;
75 Low-caste [ Foreign ? ] people and heretics
not even with an utterance.
76 Owing to importance of business he may have
recourse to them;
77 Let him say little, however, and assign the
employment.
78 Let him not accept fine gold [ or receive men
of the (3) castes] in private.
79 With workmen, even in his employ, let him
not deliberate upon the task.
80 With his friends let him choose a like friend
as councillor;
81 But if low-born, he must be one having not
low-born caste.
82 Low-born persons have the characteristic of not
mentioning their own objects and of executing orders.
83 So he should not over-cherish them.
84 Nor again should he trust them.

72 'Audience': I translate asthanena, but the text is corrupt.
78 Varnika-parigraha : Read varnika-parigraha ?
79 'Even in his employ' : so translate yoginah ?
