**307**
If a knowledgeable person is made a mediator to resolve a conflict, and even though he knows the truth, he starts to say some true and many false things, then naturally, instead of establishing peace, more conflict will arise, and the situation will become even more terrible. As a result, that mediator will incur Maha-Mohaniya Karma. Therefore, whoever is appointed as a mediator anywhere, should try to establish peace between both parties based on truth. This will prevent him from falling into the bondage of this terrible Karma. Along with this, the mediator should not be biased, greedy, or show any favoritism, nor should he accept any bribes.

**Tīkā:**
This Sutra states that if a king's minister, with the desire to seize power himself, spoils the king's queens or the avenues of income (wealth), and incites the king's subjects or his subordinate vassals against him, making them hostile, and then, in due time, drives the king out of the kingdom...
