A king who wants to live safely should keep near him a physician who knows all mantras and the science of poisons, is of good family, free of greed, skilled in every task, rich in dharma, pure in vows and conduct, and has wealth and kinsmen. A footnote says defeated enemies, men punished or slighted by the king, jealous relatives and women seeking to win favour may all try to poison a king.
