Sanskrit Original
कोशक्षये त्वमित्राणां वशं कौसल्य गच्छति। उभयत्र प्रयुक्तस्य धर्मेणाधर्म एव च।॥ फलार्थमूलं व्युच्छिद्येत् तेन नन्दन्ति शत्रवः। न चास्मै मानुषं कर्म दैवमस्योपवर्णय॥

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.
