pūrvāṃ pūrvāṃ vijānīyāl laghvīm āpadam āpadām /
utthitāṃ balavadbhyo vā gurvīṃ laghvīṃ viparyaye //E
One must consider that of these four kinds of danger, that which is mentioned first is less grave than the one subsequently mentioned, whether or not it is caused by powerful persons; otherwise (i.e., when the danger is caused by insignificant persons), simple means may be used to get rid of it.
