Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 179
विशेषतश्च । सत्याऽनृता च परुषा प्रियवादिनी च
हिंस्रा दयालुरपि चार्थपरा वदान्या ।
नित्यव्यया प्रचुररत्नधनागमा च
वाराङ्गनेव नृपनीतिरनेकरूपा ॥
Particularly, Truthful and (also) false (when necessary), now harsh and now of sweet address, cruel, and also merciful (at times), now economical (lit., devoted to saving money), anon liberal, ever spending and yet getting money and jewels in plenty-royal policy, like a harlot, puts on a variety of forms.
