The original goes like this:
ahiMsaa-pratiSThaayaaM tat-saMnidhau vaira-tyaagaH
saMnidhi m. depositing together or near Ka1tySr. Sa1h. ;
juxtaposition , nearness , vicinity , presence (**%{au}** , with gen.
or ifc. , `****" in the presence of , near "' ****
Just for fun, trying to come up with an ultraliteral translation
might result e.g. to:
non(a)-violence(hiMsaa)-against(prati)-standing(SThaa)-in*(yaam)
that(tat)-saMnidh[i](see above)-in*(au) hostility(vaira)-abandonment
(tyaagaH)
*) preposition "in", in Sanskrit in this case the suffixes "yaam"
and "au" (suffixes of locative singular, which can vary quite
a lot depending on the inflectional category of a word, or stuff.)
