(1) द्वाविमौ ग्रसते भूमिः सर्पो बिलशयानिव |
राजानं चाविरोद्धारं ब्राह्मणं चाप्रवासिनम् ||

अर्थ- (1) जैसे सांप बिल में रहने वाले चूहों को निगल जाता है, उसी प्रकार दूसरों से (आवश्यकता पडने पर)
युद्ध न करने वाले राजा तथा विद्याध्ययन आदि के लिये घर छोड कर अन्यत्र न जाने वाले ब्राहमण को पृथ्वी निगल जाती है (अर्थात् वे पुरुषार्थ किये बिना ही मर जाते हैं ) |
(2) अतः हे नरश्रेष्ठ ! तुम इस बात को अच्छी तरह अपने हृदय में धारण कर लो कि जो राजा संधि
करने योग्य हों उनसे संधि करो और जो विरोध के पात्र हों उनका डट कर विरोध करो |

Kartum = do. Arhasi = a word used for addressing respectfully.. Sandhjeyanabhisandhastvam =
Sandheyaan + abhisandhi +tvam. Sandheyaan = fit for making peace or an alliance, truce
ASbhisandhi = alliance or a pact. Virodhyaamshch = opponents. Virodhaya = fight, oppose.
Outlining various intricacies of diplomacy to Yudhishthira, Bheeshma further says to Yudhishthira -
(1) Just as a snake swallows rodents and lizards living inside a burrow or a hole, in the same manner a
King who is hesitant to fight with another king attacking his kingdom and a Brahmin who avoids to immigrate
to other countries to acquire learning, both get annihilated by the Earth i.e. they die without any achievement and are forgotten.
(2) Therefore, O illustrious King ! You should carefully learn this by heart that those Kings who are
friendly towards you and are suitable for making an alliance with them, you should do so. But if they are enemical towards you, then you should not hesitate to fight with them.
