Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 65
यदि च प्राप्तावसरोपि मन्त्रो मया
न वक्तव्यस्तदा मन्त्रित्वमेव ममानुपपन्नम् । यतः ।
कल्पयति येन वृत्तिं येन च लोके प्रशस्यते सद्भिः ।
स गुणस्तेन गुणिना रक्ष्यः संवर्धनीयश्च ॥
And if I were not to give my counsel when there has been an occasion for it, a minister's post would ill become me. For, a man of merits should keep up and foster that quality by which be earns his livelihood and for which he is praised in this world by the good.
