Shloka 9
नृशंस-लक्षणनिर्णयः | Determining the Marks of Cruel Conduct
Nṛśaṃsa
Devanagari script
तस्माद् वैरं न कुर्वीत दुर्बलो बलवत्तरै: | शोचेद्धि वैरं कुर्वाणो यथा वै शाल्मलिस्तथा,अतः: दुर्बल मनुष्य बलवानोंके साथ वैर न करे। यदि वह करता है तो सेमलके समान ही शोचनीय दशाको पहुँचकर शोकमग्न होता है
Transliteration
tasmād vairaṃ na kurvīta durbalo balavattaraiḥ | śoced dhi vairaṃ kurvāṇo yathā vai śālmalis tathā ||
Translation
لذلك لا ينبغي للضعيف أن يصنع عداوةً مع الأقوى منه. فإن هو أثار الخصومة، وقع لا محالة في البلاء، ينوح في حالٍ يُرثى لها، كحال شجرة الشَّالْمَلِي.
