अजॊ हि शस्त्रम अखनत किलैकः; शस्त्रे विपन्ने पद्भिर अपास्य भूमिम निकृन्तनं सवस्य कण्ठस्य घॊरं; तद्वद वैरं मा खनीः पाण्डुपुत्रैः ।। २-५९-८ ।।

sanskrit

'The learned should never utter harsh words aimed at others. Just as a goat that had swallowed a hook suffered greatly when the hunter, placing its head on the ground, tore its throat painfully while extracting the hook, so too, harsh words can cause great harm.' ।। 2-59-8 ।।

english translation
