सान्त्व-निति: (Sāntva-Nīti) — The One-Word Principle of Conciliation
Devanagari script
तस्मात् सान्त्व॑ प्रयोक्तव्यं दण्डमाधित्सतो5पि हि । फल॑ं च जनयत्येवं न चास्योद्धिजते जन:,अतः किसीको दण्ड देनेकी इच्छा रखनेवाले राजाको भी उससे सान्त्वनापूर्ण मधुर वचन ही बोलना चाहिये। ऐसा करके वह अपना प्रयोजन तो सिद्ध कर ही लेता है और उससे कोई मनुष्य उद्विग्न भी नहीं होता है

Translation
ଏହେତୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦେବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଥିବା ରାଜା ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଥମେ ସାନ୍ତ୍ୱନାପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ମଧୁର ବଚନ ହିଁ ପ୍ରୟୋଗ କରିବା ଉଚିତ। ଏପରି କଲେ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରୟୋଜନ ସିଦ୍ଧ ହୁଏ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା କେହି ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଉଦ୍ବିଗ୍ନ କିମ୍ବା ଭୀତ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ।
