Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 1
अथ राजपुत्रा ऊचुः -- आर्य मित्रलाभः
श्रुतस्तावदस्माभिः । इदानीं सुहृद्भेदं श्रोतुमिच्छामः ।
विष्णुशर्मोवाच --
सुहृद्भेदं तावच्छृणुत यस्यायमाद्यः श्लोकः --
वर्धमानो महास्नेहो मृगेन्द्रवृषयोर्वने ।
पिशुनेनातिलुब्धेन जम्बुकेन विनाशितः ॥
The princes said - Sir, as for 'Mitralabha (The Acquisition of Friends)' we have heard that. Now we wish to learn the chapter on 'Suhrdbheda (The Separation of Friends)'. Vishnusharma said - Hear then "Suhrdbheda", of which this is the introductory sloka - A great friendship, that was growing between a lion and a bull in a forest, was destroyed by a wily and very ambitious jackal.
