Of these, the strength of arms is regarded to be of the most inferior kind. Blessed be thou, the acquisition of good counsellors is regarded as the second kind of strength. The wise have said that the acquisition of wealth is the third kind of strength. The strength of birth, O king, which one naturally acquireth from one’s sires and grandsires, is regarded as the fourth kind of strength.
In plain words: Vidura ranks the kinds of strength. Physical strength is the lowest. Having good advisers is the second kind and wealth the third. The strength of a good family, passed down from your ancestors, is the fourth.
