Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Nṛpadviṣṭa (नृपद्विष्ट) refers to the “enemy of a king”, and is mentioned in verse 2.40-44 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] the shadow of a slope, the enemy of a king [viz., nṛpadviṣṭa], a beast of prey, a tusked [fanged] animal, and horned cattle; intercourse with wicked, dishonourable, and over-shrewd (people and) quarrel with superiors [...] (all these things) one shall eschew. In all activities of a wise (man) the world alone (is) his teacher”.
Note: Nṛpadviṣṭa, lit. (“one who is hated by a king”), has been turned rgyal-po sdaṅ, lit. “one who hates a king”. Though the approach is different, both phrases come to the same.
