Here a twofold charge is set forth: fidelity to the ancestors' path and the balance of the three aims. It is significant that none of them may be sacrificed to another for the sake of desire: dharma, artha, and kama remain in harmony only when what governs is not passion but discernment of time and duty. Thus the scripture reveals the art of measure in a king's life; and next come the foundations of rule.
