Shloka 22
Nīti-upadeśa to a Rājaputra: Self-restraint, Alliances, and Rival-Management (नीतिउपदेशः)
Devanagari script
असंशयं दैवपर: क्षिप्रमेव विनश्यति । याजयैनं विश्वजिता सर्वस्वेन वियुज्य तम्,इसमें संदेह नहीं कि दैवका मारा हुआ मनुष्य शीघ्र ही नष्ट हो जाता है। हो सके तो शत्रुको विश्वजित् नामक यज्ञमें लगा दो और उसके द्वारा दक्षिणारूपमें सर्वस्वदान कराकर उसे निर्धन बना दो
Translation
There is no doubt: a man struck down by fate, as by a divine blow, perishes swiftly. If you can, entangle that enemy in the sacrifice called Viśvajit, and have him give away all he owns as dakṣiṇā, stripping him of his wealth.
