"Do not serve a king who inspires fear, and do not bow to him with excessive flattery. It is not appropriate to bow down to someone who is deceitful and seeks to rule the earth. True respect cannot be gained by focusing on physical attributes or worldly possessions, nor by abandoning one's own dignity.
Hearing this, the young men responded, "When should we bow then? When someone wears rough clothing, lives in caves, and eats wild fruits, that is beautiful. Poverty is not a disease. When someone's body is pure, then we bow. When someone's body is strong and healthy, that is good, but it is not right to break the pride of a human being. A river-like servant is beautiful in his life. When someone does not weaken with age, then we bow. When someone is not stained by the dust of others' feet, then we bow. When someone who embodies the glory of the rainy season does not flee from the guards of kings, then we bow. When someone's strength does not diminish, then we bow. When someone endures the friction of punishments and the touch of hands on their chest, who can bear it? Who can look at a face twisted by anger, knowing that their pure joy will not be destroyed? When someone's passion does not fade, then we bow. When time has ended or is black with anger, when someone is close to the king, then they attain greatness. When someone is not seen often, then we bow. When someone does not have the grip of Yama on their throat and does not have the power of wealth, then we bow.
When someone is silent, they are considered unloving, when they are silent, they are considered dull, and when they are peaceful, they are considered cowardly. When someone is honest, they are considered dense. If someone takes away birth, old age, and death, and removes the suffering of the four paths, but is a beast or a fool, then they are a warrior who does not understand the beauty and depth of their own heart. If someone liberates the world, then we bow to that king."
