Verse 6·VR 3.33.6

ये न रक्षन्ति विषयम् अस्वाधीना नराधिपः | ते न वृद्ध्या प्रकाशन्ते गिरयः सागरे यथा || ३-३३-६

ye na rakShanti viShayam asvaadhiinaa naraadhipaH | te na vR^iddhyaa prakaashante girayaH saagare yathaa || 3-33-6

Translation

"Without keeping the kingdom under your personal control, you have shuffled the administration onto the ministers and army personnel like Khara, Duushana et al. And these figureheads alone become the tiderips, for they quarrel among themselves about the kingship of Lanka after your ruin, and they alone are floating like oceanic tides up above your head and thus you are a submerged sovereign. In any way, your doom is destined either by Rama, who is an imminent danger, or by your military managers, who are the in-built dangers."
