Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 132
शृणु देव । अप्रियस्यापि पथ्यस्य परिणामः सुखावहः ।
वक्ता श्रोता च यत्रास्ति रमन्ते तत्र संपदः ॥ १३३॥
त्वया च मूलभृत्यानपास्यायमागन्तुकः पुरस्कृतः ।
एतच्चानुचितं कृतम् । यतः ।
मूलभृत्यान्परित्यज्य नागन्तून्प्रतिमानयेत् ।
नातः परतरो दोषो राज्यभेदकरो यतः ॥
May Your Highness listen - The result of what is wholesome although unpleasant, is happy. Riche's delight (to live) there where there is a speaker and a hearer (of things wholesome though disagreeable). You, having discarded old servants, advanced this stranger. And this was a wrong step. For, having cast off old servants one should not honour strangers: because there is no other fault so destructive to royalty than this.
