5). On Employing spies and Law (59):
A spy and the book of law are the two eyes of a good king. It is the duty of a king to know quickly all that happen in the kingdom. A spy is one who has an appearance of no alarm and who does not reveal his purpose. He assumes the appearance of an ascetic and discovers what is hidden and helps the king in his benevolent administration. The spy engaged in collection of secret information should never be honored in public by the king; otherwise it will lead to leakage of secrets.
