Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 51
अन्यच्च । व्योमैकान्तविहारिणोऽपि विहगाः सम्प्राप्नुवन्त्यापदं
बध्यन्ते निपुणैरगाधसलिलान्मत्स्याः समुद्रादपि ।
दुर्नीतं किमिहास्ति किं सुचरितं कः स्थानलाभे गुणः
कालो हि व्यसनप्रसारितकरो गृह्णाति दूराद् अपि ॥
And again, even birds moving (or, sporting) in a part of (or exclusively in) the sky meet with calamity; and the fishes, too, are caught by experts from the sea with its unfathomable waters; so, what is an evil act or a good one in this world, or of what avail is a position of advantage? For, the god of destruction, with his hand in the form of a calamity stretched forth, seizes even from afar.
