**Chapter 213**
A Kshatriya should educate his sons, grandsons, and daughters in worldly conduct and behavior. He should arrange their marriages according to his ability. He should keep his cows, horses, buffaloes, etc., in their respective places and perform the Sandhyavandana in the evening as before. || 42-43 ||
I will briefly explain the duties of Kshatriyas, listen carefully.
A Kshatriya who is a servant should go to the royal palace in the morning, armed with weapons. After bowing to the king seated in the assembly, he should stand before him with folded hands, filled with devotion to his master, and with great joy. He should then sit down comfortably in his designated place according to the king's command. He should sacrifice his life for his master, for the purpose of a servant is to serve his master.
When the king commands, "Do this," he should do it quickly and with utmost effort, so that his master is pleased with him. A servant who is a traitor to his master, ungrateful, treacherous, a killer of animals, cruel, and a slanderer will go to hell after death.
He should go quickly wherever the king commands him to go. He should perform Sandhyavandana, Samayika, offering food to the needy, and austerity. || 44-49 ||
After performing the worship of the gods as described earlier, the king should come and sit comfortably in the assembly, on the lion throne. He should protect all beings with justice and fairness. Without subjects, what is a king?
He should punish the wicked and protect the righteous. He should perform acts of bowing down to the Jinas and the Munis. || 50-52 ||
