न सत्यं केवलं सत्यमनृतं न तथानृतम् ।
हितं यत्सर्वलोकस्य तत्सत्यं शेषमन्यथा ॥
na satyaṁ kevalaṁ satyam anṛtaṁ na tathānṛtam |
hitaṁ yat sarva-lokasya tat satyaṁ śeṣam anyathā ||
(Bhārata Mañjarī)
“Truth is not just truth, and falsity is not just falsity. That which is beneficial to all beings is truth, and the remainder [i.e., all else] is otherwise [i.e., falsity].”
