Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 120
वायसो ब्रूते -- प्रिये न
भेतव्यम् ।
वारंवारं मयैतस्य महापराधः सोढः । इदानीं पुनर्न क्षन्तव्यः ।
वायस्याह -- कथमेतेन बलवता सार्धे भवान्विग्रहीतुं समर्थः ।
वायसो ब्रूते -- अलमनया शङ्कया । यतः ।
बुद्धिर्यस्य बलं तस्य निर्बुद्धेस्तु कुतो बलम् ।
पश्य सिंहो मदोन्मत्तः शशकेन निपातितः ॥
Don't you be afraid, my dear, the crow replied. I have pardoned his great crime again and again. But it shall not be tolerated now. The female crow observed - How will you be able to contend with one who is powerful? The crow replied - Away with this doubt. For, He who has talent has strength; how can he, who is without talent, have strength? Behold, a haughty lion was killed by a hare.
