Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 77
यतः । अवज्ञानाद्राज्ञो भवति मतिहीनः परिजनः
ततस्तत्प्राधाण्याद्भवति न समीपे बुधजनः ।
बुधैस्त्यक्ते राज्ये न हि भवति नीतिर्गुणवती
विपन्नायां नीतौ सकलमवशं सीदति जगत् ॥
For, by being despised by a king the servants turn out dull headed; then on account of their predominance no wise man approaches him; when the kingdom is abandoned by wise men, policy does not become efficacious; and policy having failed the whole world falls a helpless victim to misery.
