Devanagari script
नामित्रो विनिकर्तव्यो नातिच्छेद्य:ः कथठ्चन । जीवित हाृप्यतिच्छिन्न: संत्यजेच्च कदाचन
Transliteration
bhīṣma uvāca | nāmitro vinikartavyo nāticchedyaḥ kathaṃcana | jīvitaṃ hṛpyaticchinnaḥ saṃtyajec ca kadācana ||
Translation
ভীষ্ম বললেন—শত্রুর সঙ্গে ছল করা উচিত নয়, আর কোনোভাবেই তাকে অতিমাত্রায় ছিন্নভিন্ন করাও উচিত নয়। কারও জীবিকা কেড়ে নিয়ে তাকে ভীষণভাবে আহত করলে, সে হতাশায় কখনও প্রাণত্যাগও করতে পারে।
