Hitopdesh • Chapter 4 • Shloka 33
राजा मन्त्री च तत्र स्थितौ । अन्येऽन्यत्र
गताः । चक्रवाको ब्रूते -- देव अहमेवं जानामि ।
कस्याप्यस्मन्नियोगिनः प्रेरणया बकेनेदमनुष्ठितम् । यतः ।
वैद्यानामातुरः श्रेयान्व्यसनी यो नियोगिनाम् ।
विदुषां जीवनं मूर्खः सद्वर्णो जीवनं सताम् ॥
The king and the minister remained there; the rest withdrew to other places. The Chakravaka spoke - Sire, my idea is this - The crane has done this at the instigation of some one of our officers. For, A sick man is most welcome to physicians, and such is one who is vicious (or, one in trouble) to the officers of state. The clever prey upon fools, while one of a high class is the life of the good.
