Verse 21·VR 3.33.21

नयनाभ्याम् प्रसुप्तो वा जागर्ति नय चक्षुषा | व्यक्त क्रोध प्रसादः च स राजा पूज्यते जनैः || ३-३३-२१

nayanaabhyaam prasupto vaa jaagarti naya cakShuShaa | vyakta krodha prasaadaH ca sa raajaa puujyate janaiH || 3-33-21

Translation

"He who keeps his mental eyes of wariness wakeful even though he sleeps fast closing his physical eyes, thus discarded are his fury and frenzy as well, because he knows as to who is to be treated furiously and who is to be favoured, and thus people will revere him as a judicious king. [3-33-21]
