Kākolūkīya3.246
Sanskrit · 3.246
शस्त्रैर् हता न हि हता रिपवो भवन्ति प्रज्ञा-हतास् तु रिपवः सुहता भवन्ति । शस्तं निहन्ति पुरुषस्य शरीरम् एकं प्रज्ञा कुलं च विभवश् च यशश् च हन्ति ॥
English · Meaning
Enemies struck down by weapons are not, indeed, truly struck down; enemies struck down by intelligence, however, are thoroughly struck down. The transmitted śastaṃ—literally “praised,” “taught,” or “commanded,” though the context suggests the possible reading śastraṃ, “a weapon”—kills one body of a man; intelligence kills his family, wealth, and fame.
