तीक्ष्णमुत्साहिनं व्यसनिनं स्थितशत्रुं वा गूढपुरुषाः शस्त्राग्निरसादिभिः साधयेयुः सौकर्यतो वा तेषामन्यतमः ॥ कZ_०९.६.५३ ॥
tīkṣṇam utsāhinaṃ vyasaninaṃ sthitaśatruṃ vā gūḍhapuruṣāḥ śastrāgni-rasādibhiḥ sādhayeyuḥ saukaryato vā teṣām anyatamaḥ.
तीक्ष्णम् उत्साहिनं व्यसनिनं स्थितशत्रुं वा गूढपुरुषाः शस्त्राग्निरसादिभिः साधयेयुः, सौकर्यतो वा तेषाम् अन्यतमः।
The gūḍhapuruṣa (covert agent) is tasked with neutralizing high-risk enemies using clandestine means such as weapons, arson, or poison, chosen by feasibility.
Targets include the ruthless, the highly energetic (hard to deter), the vice-addicted (vulnerable yet dangerous), and the persistent enemy who remains hostile over time.
