Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 15
अतोऽहं पर्वतशिखरमारुह्य यूथनाथं संवादयामि ।
तथानुष्ठिते यूथनाथ उवाच -- कस्त्वम् । कुतः समायातः ।
स ब्रूते --
शशकोऽहम् । भगवता चन्द्रेण भवदन्तिकं प्रेषितः ।
यूथपतिराह -- कार्यमुच्यताम् ।
विजयो ब्रूते --
उद्यतेष्वपि शस्त्रेषु दूतो वदति नान्यथा ।
सदैवावध्यभावेन यथार्थस्य हि वाचकः ॥
I shall, therefore, mount the top of the hill and address the leader of the herd. That being done, the leader of the herd asked him - who are you and where have you come from? He replied - I am a hare sent to you by the divine Moon. Declare your purpose, said the chief of the herd. Vijaya replied - a messenger never speaks falsely even though weapons be raised against him. For he always declares the truth on account of the immunity from being killed which he always enjoys.
