Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 88
किं चान्यत् । शत्रुपक्षो भवानस्माकम् । उक्तं चैतत् ।
शत्रुणा न हि संदध्यात्सुश्लिष्टेनापि सन्धिना ।
तप्तमपि पानीयं शमयत्येव पावकम् ॥
Another consideration is this - you belong to the side of our enemies. And thus says the precept - One should not make peace with an enemy even by a compactly formed treaty. Water, although greatly heated, does extinguish fire.
