Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
Devanagari script
तत् कृत्यमभिनिर्वर्त्य प्रकृति: शत्रुतां गता । “तुम जातिसे ही मेरे शत्रु हो, किंतु विशेष प्रयोजनसे मित्र बन गये थे। वह प्रयोजन सिद्ध कर लेनेके पश्चात् तुम्हारी प्रकृति फिर सहज शत्रुभावको प्राप्त हो गयी ।।
Translation
Bhishma sprach: „Von Geburt an bist du mein Feind; doch aus einem besonderen Zweck wurdest du zum Freund. Nachdem dieser Zweck erfüllt war, kehrte deine Natur wieder zur angeborenen Feindschaft zurück.“
