Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 169
इति विज्ञाय मतिमान्स्वस्थानं न परित्यजेत् ।
कापुरुषवचनमेतत् । यतः ।
स्थानमुत्सृज्य गच्छन्ति सिंहाः सत्पुरुषा गजाः ।
तत्रैव निधनं यान्ति काकाः कापुरुषा मृगाः ॥
Knowing this a wise man should not leave his own place. These are the words of cowardly persons. For, lions, good men and elephants leave their places and go to others; while crows, cowardly men and deer perish in their own places.
