Devanagari script
द्वेष्यो न साधुर्भवति न मेधावी न पण्डित: । प्रिये शुभानि कार्याणि द्वेष्पे पापानि चैव ह
Translation
Wer zum Gegenstand des Hasses wird, erscheint weder als tugendhaft noch als weise noch als gelehrt. Beim Geliebten wirken alle Taten glückverheißend; beim Feind gelten alle Werke als sündhaft.
