Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 141
प्रकाशं ब्रूते -- तदा संजीवकः किं प्रत्यादिश्यताम् ।
दमनकः ससम्भ्रममाह --
देव मा मैवम् । एतावता मन्त्रभेदो जायते । तथा चोक्तम् --
मन्त्रबीजमिदं गुप्तं रक्षणीयं तथा यथा ।
मनागपि न भिद्येत तद्भिन्नं न प्ररोहति ॥
(Aloud) What then, shall Samjivaka be warned (against such a course of conduct)? Damanaka observed in haste - Not so, not so my lord. This will mean the divulging of counsel. For it is said - The seed of counsel should be kept concealed in such a way that not even a glimpse of it could get out; if got out it will not thrive.
