धार्ष्ट्यजैह्म्यादिसम्भीतमवहित्थं भयत्मकम् ।
तच्चागणनया कार्यं नातीवोत्तरभाषणात् dhārṣṭyajaihmyādisambhītamavahitthaṃ bhayatmakam |
taccāgaṇanayā kāryaṃ nātīvottarabhāṣaṇāt
The line
Dissimulation, its nature fear, produced from impudence, crookedness, and the rest: it is to be done by not counting it, and not by answering too far.
नेपालीमा
भय स्वभाव भएको कपट धृष्टता, कुटिलता र अरूबाट उत्पन्न हुन्छ। यसलाई गन्ती नगरी गर्नुपर्छ, धेरै परसम्म उत्तर दिएर होइन।
Where it sits
Avahittha (अवहित्थ), hiding the feeling. The prose says it is the concealing of one's aspect, from shame, fear, defeat, weight, and deceit. The verse says the acting is to treat the thing as nothing, and not to answer at length.
