Adharmic Victory as Unstable; Rules of Restraint, Mediation, and Conciliation (अधर्मविजय-अध्रुवत्व तथा क्षमा-नयः)

असंख्येयस्तदूर्ध्व स्थादनादेयश्व संसदि । इन दोनोंमेंसे जो कोई भी पक्ष ब्राह्मणका तिरस्कार करता है, वह सनातनकालसे चली आयी हुई मर्यादाको तोड़ता है। यदि अपनेको क्षत्रिय कहनेवाला अधम योद्धा उस मर्यादाका उल्लंघन कर ही डाले तो उसके बादसे उसे क्षत्रियजातिके अंदर नहीं गिनना चाहिये और क्षत्रियोंकी सभामें उसे स्थान भी नहीं देना चाहिये

asaṅkhyeyas tadūrdhva sthād anādeyaś ca saṃsadi |

Bhīṣma said: “Such a person becomes beyond reckoning and, from that point onward, is not to be accepted in the assembly. Whoever among the two sides shows contempt for a Brahmin breaks the ancient, time-honored boundary of conduct. And if a base warrior who calls himself a Kshatriya violates that established norm, then thereafter he should not be counted within the Kshatriya community, nor should he be granted a seat in the Kshatriyas’ council.”
