Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 120
इत्याहमपि तूष्णीं स्थितः । अथ राजा बद्धाञ्जलिराह -- तात
अस्त्वयं ममापराधः । इदानीं यथाहमवशिष्टबलसहितः
प्रत्यावृत्य विन्ध्याचलं गच्छामि तथोपदिश ।
गृध्रः स्वगतं चिन्तयति -- क्रियतामत्र प्रतीकारः । यतः ।
देवतासु गुरौ गोषु राजसु ब्राह्मणेषु च ।
नियन्तव्यः सदा कोपो बालवृद्धातुरेषु च ॥
For this reason, I too remained quiet. Upon this the king said with folded hands - Sir, let this my fault be connived at. Now instruct me in such a way that having returned with the remnant of my forces I shall go back to the mountain Vindhya. The Vulture said to himself - This must be remedied. For, In the case of deities, one's preceptor, cows, kings, Brahmanas, as also children, old men and sickly persons, anger should always be restrained.
