Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 23
इति चिन्तयन्नेवासौ व्याघ्रेण व्यापादितः
खादितश्च । अतोहं ब्रवीमि -- कङ्कणस्य तु लोभेन इत्यादि ।
अतः एव सर्वथाविचारितं कर्म न कर्तव्यम् । यतः ।
सुजीर्णमन्नं सुविचक्षणः सुतः
सुशासिता स्त्री नृपतिः सुसेवितः ।
सुचिन्त्य चोक्तं सुविचार्य यत्कृतं
सुदीर्घकालेऽपि न याति विक्रियाम् ॥
While thus musing he was killed by the tiger and eaten. Therefore, I say "Through the last of a bracelet." For this reason, nothing rash should at all be done. For, Food well digested, a son very wise (well educated), a wife well disciplined, a king served faithfully, what is spoken after being well thought over and what is done after due consideration - these do not lead to a bad result even after a very long time.
