Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 49
इत्याकर्ण्य हिरण्यकः प्रहृष्टमनाः पुलकितः सन्नब्रवीत् -- साधु
मित्र साधु । अनेनाश्रितवात्सल्येन त्रैलोक्यस्यापि प्रभुत्वं त्वयि युज्यते ।
एवमुक्त्वा तेन सर्वेषां बन्धनानि छिन्नानि ।
ततो हिरण्यकः सर्वान् सादरं सम्पूज्याह -- सखे चित्रग्रीव
सर्वथात्र जालबन्धनविधौ दोषमाशङ्क्यात्मन्यवज्ञा न कर्तव्या । यतः ।
योऽधिकाद्योजनशतात्पश्यतीहामिषं खगः ।
स एव प्राप्तकालस्तु पाशबन्धं न पश्यति ॥
Having heard this, Hiranyaka, being delighted at heart and with his hair standing on end, said - Noble, friend, noble! By this your affection for your followers, you deserve the sovereignty of even the three worlds. With these words, he cut off the bonds of them all. Then Hiranyaka, having cordially received all, said - Dear Chitragriva, in regard to this your being caught in a net you should not blame yourself by suspecting any fault on your part. For, that very bird, who sees his prey from a distance of more than a hundred yojanas, sees not the snares (laid for him) when his time has arrived.
