Where one's entire fortunes are at stake untruth becomes utterable. On these occasions untruth becomes truth and truth untruth. He who is bent upon always practising truth alone is a fool and takes truth to be as it is.
सर्वस्वस्यापहारे तु वक्तव्यमनृतं भवेत्। तत्रानृतं भवेत् सत्यं चाप्यनृतं भवेत्॥ तादृशं पश्यते बालो यस्य सत्यमनुष्ठितम्।
