Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)
उभयत्र प्रसक्तस्य धर्मे चाधर्म एव च । बलार्थमूलं व्युच्छिद्येत्तेन नन्दन्ति शत्रवः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
If the treasury of your foes be exhausted, every one of them, O prince of Koshala, may be subdued. The treasury is the source of happiness in heaven and victory on Earth. It is in consequence of their wealth that enemies enjoy such happiness. The treasury, therefore, should by every means be drained. Do not speak highly of manliness in the presence of your foe, but speak highly of destiny.
