Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 168
तदत्र सखे दशातिशेषेण शान्तिः करणीया । एतदप्यतिकष्टं त्वया न मन्तव्यम् । यतः
राजा कुलवधूर्विप्रा मन्त्रिणश्च पयोधराः ।
स्थानभ्रष्टा न शोभन्ते दन्ताः केशा नखा नराः ॥
Therefore, friend, you ought to be reconciled to this particular (changed) condition. And you should not consider this as very hard to do. For, A king, a woman of family, Brahmanas, ministers, breasts, teeth, hair, nails and men do not shine (appear well) when fallen from their proper position.
