apakāriṇi kopaś cet kope kopaḥ kathaṃ na te | dharmārthakāmamokṣāṇāṃ prasahya paripanthini ||29||

Translation

Если есть гнев на причиняющего вред, то как не быть гневу на сам гнев — на того, кто насильно преграждает дхарму, артху, каму и мокшу?

Academic Translation

If there is anger toward one who does harm, how would there not be anger toward anger itself—(anger) which forcibly obstructs dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa?
