सुविदिते शत्रुशासनापदेशेनैनं घातयेत् ॥ कZ_०२.९.२७ ॥
suvidite śatru-śāsanāpadeśenainaṃ ghātayet
जब बात भली-भाँति सिद्ध हो जाए, तो शत्रु के आदेश का बहाना बनाकर उसे मरवा देना चाहिए।
‘Suvidite’—the wrongdoing/plot must be clearly verified; action follows confirmation, not suspicion alone.
It provides deniability and reduces internal backlash by shifting attribution away from the ruler/state.
