na vishvAset kumitre cha mitre chApi na vishvAset

don't trust the unfriendly; but even in friends don't place the (whole) trust
for, if friends get offended at times, all the secrets would get compromised
the objective being contemplated mentally, should never be revealed in speech
the deepest secrets must be guarded even from the counsellors engaged in that enterprise

(chANakya-nIti-darpaNAH 2.6 and 2.7)

Ashok ji, is the above translation correct?
