Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 107
यातु । प्रस्तुतमनुसंधीयताम् । मलयाधित्यकायां चेच्चित्रवर्णस्तद्
अधुना किं विधेयम् । मन्त्री वदति --
देव आगतप्रणिधिमुखान् मया श्रुतं यन्महामन्त्रिणो गृध्रस्योपदेशे चित्रवर्णेनानादरः
कृतः । अतोऽसौ मूढो जेतुं शक्यः । तथा चोक्तम् --
लुब्धः क्रूरोऽलसोऽसत्यः प्रमादी भीरुरस्थिरः ।
मूढो योधावमन्ता च सुखच्छेद्यो रिपुः स्मृतः ॥
Well, let it pass. Let us attend to what concerns us immediately. If Chitravarna is on the tableland of Malaya, what is best to be done now? The minister said I have heard from the mouth of the spy that came here that Chitravarna has disregarded the counsel of the great minister, Vulture. It will be easy, therefore, to conquer the fool. For it is said - An enemy who is avaricious, cruel, lazy, treacherous, careless, cowardly, unsteady, foolish, and a despiser of warriors, can be easily destroyed.
