Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 75
काको ब्रूते -- स वञ्चकः क्वास्ते ।
मृगेणोक्तं -- मन्मांसार्थी तिष्ठत्यत्रैव ।
काको ब्रूते -- उक्तमेव मया पूर्वम् ।
अपराधो न मेऽस्तीति नैतद्विश्वासकारणम् ।
विद्यते हि नृशंसेभ्यो भयं गुणवतामपि ॥
The crow asked - Where is that traitor? The deer said - Desirous of my flesh he waits just here. The crow said I had already said (as much). "I have committed no fault" - this is no reason for putting confidence (in a wicked man). For, even the meritorious are afraid from the wicked.
