We hear of painful diseases transmitted by enemies. Those that desire to kill others send poison in the shape of gifts, so that the man that takes the powders so sent by tongues or skin is certainly deprived of his life as soon as possible.
अमित्रप्रहितांश्चापि गदान् परमदारुणान्। मूलप्रचारैर्हि विषं प्रयच्छन्ति जिघांसवः॥ जिह्वया यानि पुरुषस्त्वचा वाप्युपसेवते। तत्र चूर्णानि दत्तानि हन्युः क्षिप्रमसंशयम्॥
