स च द्वितीयं विश्वासपात्रं गृहीत्वा यातु ।
तेनासौ स्वयं तत्रावस्थाय द्वितीयं तत्रत्यमन्त्रकार्यं
सुनिभृतं निश्चित्य निगद्य प्रस्थापयति । तथा चोक्तं --
तीर्थाश्रमसुरस्थाने शास्त्रविज्ञानहेतुना ।
तपस्विव्यञ्जनोपेतैः स्वचरैः सह संवसेत् ॥

For it is said - (A king) should hold discourse with his spies gathered under the disguise of ascetics at some holy place or a hermitage or a temple with the (outward) object of learning the truths of the sastras.
