English Translation
If the king is virtuous, then the subjects are also virtuous. If the king is sinful, then the subjects also become sinful. If he is mediocre, then the subjects are mediocre. The subjects follow the example of the king. In short, as is the king so are the subjects.

Hindi Translation
यदि राजा पुण्यात्मा है तो प्रजा भी वैसी ही होती है. यदि राजा पापी है तो प्रजा भी पापी. यदि वह सामान्य है तो प्रजा सामान्य. प्रजा के सामने राजा का उद्हारण होता है. और वो उसका अनुसरण करती है.
