न साम रक्षःसु गुणाय कल्पते न दनमर्थोपचितेषु वर्तते ।
न भेदसाध्या बलदर्पिता जनाः पराक्रमस्त्वेष ममेह रोचते ॥३॥

3. na sāma rakṣaḥsu guṇāya kalpate na danamarthopaciteṣu vartate ,
na bhedasādhyā baladarpitā janāḥ parākramastveṣa mameha rocate.

3. na sāma rakṣaḥsu guṇāya kalpate |
na dānam arthopaciteṣu vartate | na
bhedasādhyāḥ baladarpitāḥ janāḥ
| parākramaḥ tu eṣaḥ mama iha rocate

3. sāma rakṣaḥsu guṇāya na kalpate
dānam arthopaciteṣu na vartate
baladarpitāḥ janāḥ bhedasādhyāḥ na tu
eṣaḥ parākramaḥ iha mama rocate

3. Conciliation is not effective with rākṣasas. Giving (dāna) is not suitable for the wealthy. People arrogant with their strength cannot be subdued by creating discord. Therefore, here, valor is what appeals to me.
