मित्र व्यसनतो वा अरिर् उत्तिष्ठेद् यो अनवग्रहः । मित्रेण एव भवेत् साध्यश् छादित व्यसनेन सः ॥ अमित्र व्यसनान् मित्रम् उत्थितं यद् विरज्यति । अरि व्यसन सिद्ध्या तत् शत्रुणा एव प्रसिध्यति ॥
When an enemy furiously rises against his own enemy (i.e., the conqueror's friend) under troubles, the former should be put down by the latter himself with troubles concealed. When a friend keeps quiet after rising against an enemy under troubles, that friend will be subdued by the enemy himself after getting rid of his troubles.
