Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 31
एतत्सर्वं श्रुत्वा स रथकारोऽवदत् -- धन्योऽहं यस्येदृशी प्रियवादिनी स्वामिवत्सला भार्या इति मनसि निधाय तां खट्वां स्त्रीपुरुषसहितां मूर्ध्नि कृत्वा सानन्दं ननर्त । अतोऽहं ब्रवीमि -- प्रत्यक्षेऽपि कृते दोषे इत्यादि ॥ ततोऽहं तेन राज्ञा यथाव्यवहारं संपूज्य प्रस्थापितः । शुकोऽपि मम पश्चादागच्छन् आस्ते । एतत्सर्वं परिज्ञाय यथाकर्तव्यमनुसंधीयताम् । चक्रवाको विहस्याह -- देव बकेन तावद्देशान्तरमपि गत्वा यथाशक्ति राजकार्यमनुष्ठितम् । किंतु देव स्वभाव एष मूर्खानाम् । यतः । शतं दद्यान्न विवदेदिति विज्ञस्य संमतम् । विना हेतुमपि द्वन्द्वमेतन्मूर्खस्य लक्षणम् ॥
Having heard all that, that wheelwright said to himself - Blessed am I whose wife is so sweet-speaking and attached to her lord! With these thoughts in his mind, He, having taken on his head the cot with the man and woman upon it danced with joy. Hence, I say - A fool is pleased etc. I was then treated with the usual formalities by the king and dismissed. The parrot too is coming after me. All this being considered, let the course to be adopted be well attended to. The Chakravaka observed smilingly - Please Your Highness, the crane, for one, has advanced Your Highness's interests to the best of his ability. But my lord, this is the nature of fools. For, one should give a hundred but not quarrel - this is the opinion of the wise, but a strife without cause is the sign of the foolish.
