शत्रुश्चैव हि मित्रं च न लेख्यं न च मातृका । यो वै संतापयति यं स शत्रु: प्रोच्यते नृप
śatruś caiva hi mitraṃ ca na lekhyaṃ na ca mātṛkā | yo vai santāpayati yaṃ sa śatruḥ procyate nṛpa rājann |
ດຸຣະໂຍທະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ພຣະຣາຊາ! ບໍ່ມີບັນຊີຕາຍຕົວ ຫຼື ອັກສອນໃດໆ ທີ່ຈະຕິດປ້າຍຜູ້ໃດໜຶ່ງຕະຫຼອດໄປວ່າ ‘ສັດຕູ’ ຫຼື ‘ມິດ’. ຜູ້ໃດທຳໃຫ້ອີກຜູ້ໜຶ່ງເຈັບຮ້ອນ ໃນຄວາມສຳພັນນັ້ນ ຜູ້ນັ້ນກໍຖືກເອີ້ນວ່າ ສັດຕູຂອງຜູ້ນັ້ນ».
दुर्योधन उवाच
Friendship and enmity are not permanent labels; they are defined by conduct. The one who causes another suffering functions as that person’s enemy in that context.
Duryodhana addresses a king and frames relationships in practical terms, arguing that ‘friend’ and ‘enemy’ are determined by who brings distress or relief, not by any fixed social or written designation.
