Chapter 44

**Verse 162**

The king, like a strong bull, should nourish his subjects, who are like a herd of cattle. He should protect them, having established them in their own country and their own people.

**Verse 163**

When the state and other things change, people are oppressed by thieves, robbers, and other enemies.

**Verse 164**

The king should forcibly destroy the livelihood of such thieves, robbers, etc., because the welfare of the people can only be achieved by removing thorns.

**Verse 165-167**

Just as a cowherd keeps a newly born calf with its mother for one day, and then, out of compassion, ties its legs with a rope and binds it to a stake, carefully removes its umbilical cord and placenta, protects it from the fear of insects, and nourishes it daily by giving it milk and other things,

**Verse 168-169**

so also the king should accept a servant who has come to serve him for his livelihood, with due respect and honor, and should consider the welfare and prosperity of those servants who have been accepted and who endure hardship for his sake, and should provide them with what they lack and protect what they have.

**Verse 170-171**

Just as a cowherd, who is eager to determine the auspiciousness of the day, examines cattle with the help of milk and other things when he is ready to buy them, and buys the most excellent cattle, so also the king should buy high-born sons who have been examined.

**Verse 172**

And he should employ those servants who have been bought for their livelihood in suitable work according to the time, because the fruit of that work can only be achieved through servants.

**Verse 173**

Just as a guarantor is appointed for the purchase of cattle, so also a strong man should be appointed as a guarantor for the collection of servants.

**Verse 174**

Just as a cowherd, getting up at night when only one watch remains, diligently drives the cows to a place with plenty of grass and water,

**Verse 161-162**

so also the king should protect his servants by keeping them in a place free from harm.

**Verse 163**

If he does not do so, then when the state and other things change, thieves, robbers, and other enemies from nearby kingdoms will oppress his servants.

**Verse 164**

The king should forcibly destroy the livelihood of such thieves, robbers, etc., because the welfare of the people can only be achieved by removing thorns.

**Verse 165-167**

Just as a cowherd keeps a newly born calf with its mother for one day, and then, out of compassion, ties its legs with a rope and binds it to a stake, carefully removes its umbilical cord and placenta, protects it from the fear of insects, and nourishes it daily by giving it milk and other things,

**Verse 168-169**

so also the king should accept a servant who has come to serve him for his livelihood, with due respect and honor, and should consider the welfare and prosperity of those servants who have been accepted and who endure hardship for his sake, and should provide them with what they lack and protect what they have.

**Verse 170-171**
