Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 150
संजीवकेनोक्तम् -- सखे ब्रूहि किमेतत् ।
दमनक आह -- किं ब्रवीमि मन्दभाग्यः । पश्य ।
यथा समुद्रे निर्मग्नो लब्ध्वा सर्पावलम्बनम् ।
न मुञ्चति न चादत्ते तथा मुग्धोऽस्मि संप्रति ॥
Samjivaka said - Friend, speak out what this means. Damanaka replied - What should I say, an unfortunate creature! Behold, just as a man plunged into the sea having obtained the support of a serpent, does neither give it up nor hold fast to it, so bewildered am I now.
