बार्हस्पत्य सूत्र / अर्थशास्त्र (महर्षि बृहस्पति - प्राचीन दण्डनीति, राजधर्म एवं कूटनीति सटीक)

( 28 ) 45 Against a not careless, right-knowing person, a master of his senses, a conqueror, one angry against the powerful, and hard to assail warlike enterprise is not to be undertaken. 46 "One knowing the Shâstras, how does he not understand measures?" so let him not say. 47 Those who conquer the strongest enemies, pleasure and so forth, they conquer all foes. 48 Let him not make the first advance in render- ing services : 49 Also let him certainly render service. 50 As regards an unavoidable disaster, having discerned it in advance, let him provide remedy for the disaster. 51 So says the Guru. So in the Brihaspati Sûtra the Fourth Chapter. 46 I. e. let him not claim practical infallibility on the ground of learning.
