Shloka 68
Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
आवयो: कृतमन्योन्यं पुनः संधिर्न विद्यते । स्मृत्वा स्मृत्वा हि ते पुत्र नवं वैरं भविष्यति,इस प्रकार आपसमें एक दूसरेका अपकार करनेके कारण अब हमारा फिर मेल नहीं हो सकता। अपने पुत्रको याद कर-करके आपका वैर ताजा होता रहेगा
āvayoḥ kṛtam anyonyaṁ punaḥ sandhir na vidyate | smṛtvā smṛtvā hi te putra navaṁ vairaṁ bhaviṣyati ||
Brahmadatta said: “Between us, after the mutual wrongs we have done one another, there can be no reconciliation again. For, remembering your son again and again, a fresh enmity will keep arising in you.”
ब्रह्मदत्त उवाच
Educational Q&A
Mutual injury corrodes the possibility of peace: when harm has been exchanged, memory—especially of a loved one’s loss—keeps renewing hostility, making reconciliation psychologically and ethically difficult unless the cycle of remembrance-driven resentment is consciously broken.
Brahmadatta declares that a renewed pact or peace between the two parties is no longer feasible because each has wronged the other; he adds that the other person’s repeated recollection of his son will continually rekindle fresh enmity.
