Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 30
करटको ब्रूते -- तथापि किमनेनास्माकं व्यापारेण ।
यतोऽव्यापारेषु व्यापारः सर्वथा परिहरणीयः । पश्य ।
अव्यापारेषु व्यापारं यो नरः कर्तुमिच्छति ।
स भूमौ निहतः शेते कीलोत्पाटीव वानरः ॥
Karataka replied - Still what have we to do with this affair? For, one should by all means avoid meddling with affairs with which one has nothing to do. See, He, who wishes to meddle with matters which are not business of his, lies dead on the ground like the monkey that pulled out the wedge.
