परे (भवतः) are of the worst nature

एकं the first

दुःसचिवो having bad minister

राजा king

द्वितीयं the second

तद आश्रयं shelter, dependency under him

च and too.

This is from Bhojaprabhandam of Bhallaala Deva

Meaning

My dear one, of all the sins to are the worst.. First, a king with bad, inept and evil-minded ministers.

Second, is serving or taking shelter under such a king..

Comments.

Even the best and the most noble people would become useless or even turn bad when they are surrounded by evil-minded ministers and advisers.

So it is the first sin.. that is for the King.. to have bad ministers.

Serving under and taking shelter on the magnanimity and efficiency of such a king is suicidal..

So it is the second sin.. that is for the subjects..
