Transliteration
tathāvidhasya suhṛdaḥ kṣantavyaṃ svaṃ vijānatā | aiśvaryam icchatā nityaṃ puruṣeṇa bubhūṣatā ||
Translation
ਭੀਸ਼ਮ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ—ਜੋ ਆਪਣਾ ਅਸਲ ਹਿਤ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਐਸੇ ਸੁਹਿਰਦ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਦੀ (ਕਠੋਰਤਾ ਵੀ) ਮਾਫ਼ ਕਰਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ ਹੈ। ਜੋ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਸਦਾ ਐਸ਼ਵਰਯ ਅਤੇ ਉੱਨਤੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਲਈ ਹਿਤੈਸ਼ੀ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਦਾ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਸਹਿਣਾ ਹੀ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ।
