எண்ணங்களால் சிறந்து, பெருமை மிக்கவர்களின் செயல் உறுதி. அரசு வரை செல்வதால் மற்றவர்களாலும் மதிக்கப்படும்.

செயல் திறனால் சிறப்புற்ற மாண்புடையவரின் வினைத் திட்பமானது, ஆட்சியாளரையும் கவர்ந்து பெரிதும் மதித்துப் போற்றப்படும்

செயல் திறனால் பெருமைபெற்று உயர்ந்தவரின் வினைத் திட்பமானது நாட்டை ஆளும் அரசனிடத்திலும் எட்டி மதிக்கப்பட்டு விளங்கும்.
