Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 59
करटको ब्रूते -- अथ तत्र गत्वा किं वक्ष्यति भवान् ।
स आह -- शृणु । किमनुरक्तो विरक्तो वा मयि स्वामीति ज्ञास्यामि तावत् ।
करटको ब्रूते -- किं तज्ज्ञानलक्षणम् ।
दमनको ब्रूते -- शृणु ।
दूराद् अवेक्षणं हासः संप्रश्नेष्वादरो भृशम् ।
परोक्षेऽपि गुणश्लाघा स्मरणं प्रियवस्तुषु ॥
Karataka said - Now going there what will you say? He said - Hear me. In the first place I will ascertain whether the master is attached to me or not. Karataka asked - What is the sign from which this can be known? Damanaka replied - Listen. Looking (at one) from a distance, smiling, great regard for inquiries about one's welfare, praising the merits even in one's absence: remembering one among objects which are dear.
