न तद्बलं यन्मृदुना विरुध्यते मिश्रो धर्मस्तरसा सेवितव्यः । प्रध्वंसिनी क्रूरसमाहिता श्रीर्मृदुप्रौढा गच्छति पुत्रपौत्रान्॥५-३६-६९॥
That is not true strength which is opposed by mere gentleness. A balanced dharma—firm yet measured—should be practiced with resolve. Prosperity secured through cruelty is unstable and collapses; prosperity grounded in mildness and maturity endures through sons and grandsons.
