Shloka 68
Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
आवयो: कृतमन्योन्यं पुनः संधिर्न विद्यते । स्मृत्वा स्मृत्वा हि ते पुत्र नवं वैरं भविष्यति
āvayoḥ kṛtam anyonyaṁ punaḥ sandhir na vidyate | smṛtvā smṛtvā hi te putra navaṁ vairaṁ bhaviṣyati ||
Wika ni Brahmadatta: “Sa pagitan natin, matapos ang mga kasalanang ginawa natin sa isa’t isa, wala nang muling pagkakasundo. Sapagkat sa tuwing maaalala mo ang iyong anak nang paulit-ulit, muling sisibol sa iyo ang panibagong poot.”
ब्रह्मदत्त उवाच
Educational Q&A
Mutual injury corrodes the possibility of peace: when harm has been exchanged, memory—especially of a loved one’s loss—keeps renewing hostility, making reconciliation psychologically and ethically difficult unless the cycle of remembrance-driven resentment is consciously broken.
Brahmadatta declares that a renewed pact or peace between the two parties is no longer feasible because each has wronged the other; he adds that the other person’s repeated recollection of his son will continually rekindle fresh enmity.
