Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 71
यथायं मृगो मम बन्धुस्तथा भवानपि ।
मृगोऽब्रवीत् -- किमनेनोत्तरोत्तरेण ।
सर्वैरेकत्र विश्रम्भालापैः सुखिभिः स्थीयताम् । यतः ।
न कश्चित्कस्यचिन्मित्रं न कश्चित्कस्यचिद् रिपुः ।
व्यवहारेण मित्राणि जायन्ते रिपवस्तथा ॥
Just as the deer is my friend, so are you too. The deer said - What is the use of this altercation? Let us all live happily together in friendly discourse. For, No one is anybody's friend or anybody's foe, it is the behaviour (or, intercourse) that makes friends or foes.
