Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 173
अपरं च । भूम्येकदेशस्य गुणान्वितस्य
भृत्यस्य वा बुद्धिमतः प्रणाशे ।
भृत्यप्रणाशो मरणं नृपाणां
नष्टापि भूमिः सुलभा न भृत्याः ॥
When there is loss of a part of one's territory, or, of a servant meritorious and gifted with intellect, the loss of the servant is death to a king. Land though lost may easily be acquired, but not servants.
