न दुष्करमिदं पुत्र यत् प्रभुर्घातयेत् परम् । श्लाघनीया यशस्या च लोके प्रभवतां क्षमा
Transliteration
na duṣkaram idaṃ putra yat prabhur ghātayet param | ślāghanīyā yaśasyā ca loke prabhavatāṃ kṣamā ||
Translation
Бхишма сказал: «Сын мой, для властителя, обладающего силой, нетрудно велеть убить другого. Но когда те, кто наделён властью, выбирают прощение, именно это самообладание мир и восхваляет по-настоящему; и такой терпимостью умножается слава царя».
