In English
I am the scepter of rulers, the strategy of conquerors, the silence of mystery, and the wisdom of the wise.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
Of those who punish, I am the scepter; among those who seek victory, I am statesmanship; and among secrets, I am silence; I am knowledge among knowers.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
