English version: What are the five? First, nurturing the world; second, being fully endowed with valor; third, skillful means and expediency; fourth, rightly receiving one's due; and fifth, diligently cultivating good deeds. ‘What is meant by a king nurturing the populace? It means that a king, by nature content, is able to be cautious, accomplishing the Dharma of non-greed and purity. He distributes from his treasury according to his ability to the poor and orphaned, is gentle and patient, and often uses soft words to enlighten the people of his kingdom. Those ministers who intentionally violate the law and cannot be excused are punished according to the severity of their crimes, with compassion, in accordance with the circumstances and the law.

If food has not been digested or if he has diarrhea from eating, he should not eat. He should not eat alone what should be shared, and he should distribute all delicacies to make everyone happy.

English version: This is called a king possessing pure precepts; in pure places of hearing, in present actions and future consequences, cultivating virtue and advancing in career, delighting in listening to the numerous wonderful Dharma (law) doors of Prajna (wisdom), focusing the mind diligently, ultimately comprehending, such a king is called possessing pure hearing; in a pure heart of giving, being far from stinginess and greed, generously giving with open hands, constantly practicing meritorious deeds, complete and equal, such a king is called possessing pure giving. That is, in a place possessing pure wisdom, truly knowing what is sinful and sinless, the superiority and inferiority of cultivation and non-cultivation, being close to Sramanas (ascetics) who are learned and uphold precepts, being far from those of evil and heretical teachings, being skilled in knowing the three kinds of completeness: completeness of karmic retribution, completeness of effort, completeness of merit. What is called a king inheriting the imperial enterprise, the clan born into being intelligent and wise, the treasury's wealth and treasures being used without deficiency, this is called completeness of karmic retribution. If the kings are skilled in expedient means, constantly achieving accomplishments, being brave in advancing and retreating, being skilled in arts and abilities, this is called completeness of effort. If the kings uphold the righteous Dharma, together with the princes and ministers of the inner palace, cultivate giving, practice good deeds; uphold fasting and precepts, cultivate the door of loving-kindness Samadhi (concentration), attain the supreme Brahmacarya (pure conduct); frequently perform Homa (fire offering), pacifying disasters and increasing blessings; construct Mandalas (sacred diagrams), fully receive initiation, this is called completeness of merit. If one can practice in this way, one is called possessing complete pure wisdom. ‘Furthermore, Great King, you should know! I have briefly spoken of the king's faults, the king's merits, the doors of the king's decline, the king's lovable qualities, and the methods that can give rise to the king's lovable qualities. Therefore, Great King, if you can read and recite this secret royal teaching every morning, and practice according to it, you can be called a Holy King, and also be called a Dharma King, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Devas, Nagas, and the Eight Divisions will bless you day and night, constantly protect and remember you, and you will be able to bring about timely wind and rain in the world, the cessation of warfare, the tribute of various countries, boundless blessings, national peace, and longevity, therefore you should obtain all benefits and present happiness.’ At that time, King Udayana (Udayana) heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and was delighted, believed and accepted it, and practiced accordingly.
