मनसा चिन्तितं कार्यं वाचा नैव प्रकाशयेत् ।
मन्त्रेण रक्षयेद्गूढं कार्ये चापि नियोजयेत् ॥२.७॥

manasā cintitaṃ kāryaṃ vācā naiva prakāśayet |
mantreṇa rakṣayedgūḍhaṃ kārye cāpi niyojayet ||2.7||

a work whose details are mentally worked out, should not be revealed in words; with a strategy it should be protected, so that secretly the work can be arranged
