Kural 581<\/p>\n
Competent spies and the respected codes of law–
\nconsider these two the eyes of a king.
\nKural 582<\/p>\n
Duty requires the monarch to swiftly acquire
\nknowledge of all happenings among all men each day.
\nKural 583<\/p>\n
Without assessing the intelligence reports of informants,
\na king can never achieve victory.
\nKural 584<\/p>\n
The working staff, close kindred and known enemies–
\nall such people are the legitimate study of spies.
\nKural 585<\/p>\n
An able spy is one who can assume an unsuspicious disguise,
\nis fearless when caught and never betrays his secrets.
\nKural 586<\/p>\n
Disguised as a monk or a mendicant, the master spy
\nmoves about investigating all, never careless, come what may.
\nKural 587<\/p>\n
A spy must ferret out hidden facts,
\nassuring himself that knowledge found is beyond doubt.
\nKural 588<\/p>\n
Before believing one spy’s espionage,
\nhave another spy espy the information.
\nKural 589<\/p>\n
See that informants do not know one another,
\nand accept their findings only when three reports agree.
\nKural 590<\/p>\n
One must not openly honor operatives.
\nTo do so is to divulge one’s deepest secrets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
