Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 112
तथानुष्ठिते चित्रवर्णस्य सैनिकाः सेनापतयश्च बहवो निहताः । ततश्चित्रवर्णो विषण्णः स्वमन्त्रिणं दूरदर्शिनमाह -- तात किमित्यस्मदुपेक्षा क्रियते । किं क्वाप्यविनयो ममास्ति । तथा चोक्तम् -- न राज्यं प्राप्तमित्येव वर्तितव्यमसांप्रतम् । श्रियं ह्यविनयो हन्ति जरा रूपमिवोत्तमम् ॥
This being done, many of the soldiers and generals of Chitravarna were killed. Upon this Chitravarna being dejected said to his minister, Duradarsi - Sir, why do you neglect us? Have I in any matter acted insolently towards (insulted) you? For it is said - One should not act in an unbecoming way simply because one has obtained a kingdom; for insolence (lit. want of modesty) destroys wealth as old age destroys excellent beauty.
