Rasarnavasudhakara 3.288

3.288

viśvāmitraḥ (vihasya)-
janayati tvayi vīra diśāṃ patīn
api gṛhāṅgaṇa-mātra-kuṭumbinaḥ |
ripur iti śrutir eva na vāstavī
pratibhayonnatir astu kutas tu naḥ ||

Viśvāmitra (smiling): / “While you, O hero, make the lords of the quarters / mere householders within their own courtyards, / even the word ‘enemy’ is merely an empty sound, not real; / whence, then, could any towering terror arise for us?”

ity ādāv anyonyaṃ pūjā-vacanaṃ madhura-bhāṣaṇam |

In such passages, mutual words of honor constitute sweet speech.
