दोषान् विवृणुयाच्छत्रो: परपक्षान् विधूनयेत् । काननेष्विव पुष्पाणि बहिरर्थान् समाचरन्
Translation
Wika ni Bhīṣma: Dapat ilantad ng hari ang mga kapintasan ng kaaway at guluhin ang loob ng mga nasa panig nito upang sila’y mahikayat na lumipat sa kanyang panig. At gaya ng taong namimitas ng bulaklak sa gubat, dapat din siyang magtipon ng yaman mula sa labas.
