Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 97
एतैर्गुणैरुपेतो भवदन्यो मया कः सुहृत्प्राप्तव्यः । इत्यादि तद्वचनमाकर्ण्य हिरण्यको बहिर्निःसृत्याह आप्यायितोऽहं भवतानेन वचनामृतेन । तथा चोक्तम् । घर्मार्तं न तथा सुशीतलजलैः स्नानं न मुक्तावली न श्रीखण्डविलेपनं सुखयति प्रत्यङ्गमप्यर्पितम् । प्रीत्या सज्जनभाषितं प्रभवति प्रायो यथा चेतसः सद्युक्त्या च पुरस्कृतं सुकृतिनामाकृष्टिमन्त्रोपमम् ॥
And what other friend than yourself, endowed with these qualities, can I find? Hearing these his words and such others, Hiranyaka stepped out and said - I am exhilarated by this nectar of your speech (lit. I am fattened by you); as it is observed - Not a bath with very cool water, not a necklace of pearls, not (even) sandal-wood-pigment applied to each and every limb, delights a man, oppressed with heat, so much, as the words of the good, uttered with affection, advanced with wise arguments (or full of wise thoughts) and comparable to (fascinating like) the charm of attraction, have power over (are able to gratify) the mind of the virtuous.
