Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 106
एतत्सर्वं यथावसरं ज्ञात्वा व्यवहर्तव्यम् ।
पिङ्गलको ब्रूते --
अस्ति तावद् एवम् । किंत्वेतौ सर्वथा न मम वचनकरौ ।
स्तब्धकर्णो ब्रूते -- एतत्सर्वथानुचितं सर्वथा । यतः ।
आज्ञाभङ्गकरान्राजा न क्षमेत सुतानपि ।
विशेषः को नु राज्ञश्च राज्ञश्चित्रगतस्य च ॥
One should remember all this and act accordingly, as an emergency may arise. Pingalaka said - It is just so. But these two never obey my order. Stabdhakarna observed - This is not at all proper. For, A king should not forgive those who disobey orders, even though they be his sons. For (in that case) what difference can there be between such a king, and one drawn in a picture?
