Devanagari script
पुत्रो वा यदि वा भ्राता पिता वा यदि वा सुद्त् । अर्थस्य विघ्नं कुर्वाणा हन्तव्या भूतिमिच्छता,"पुत्र, भाई, पिता अथवा मित्र जो भी अर्थप्राप्तिमें विघ्न डालनेवाले हों, उन्हें ऐश्वर्य चाहनेवाला राजा अवश्य मार डाले
Transliteration
putro vā yadi vā bhrātā pitā vā yadi vā suhṛt | arthasya vighnaṁ kurvāṇā hantavyā bhūtim icchatā ||
Translation
Bhīṣma said: “Whether it be one’s son, brother, father, or even a well-wishing friend—if they become an obstacle to the acquisition and protection of the king’s material interests, then a ruler who seeks prosperity and sovereignty should not hesitate to put them to death.”
