Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 14
अपरं च । महतामास्पदे नीचः कदापि न कर्तव्यः । तथा चोक्तम् --
नीचः श्लाघ्यपदं प्राप्य स्वामिनं हन्तुमिच्छति ।
मूषिको व्याघ्रतां प्राप्य मुनिं हन्तुं गतो यथा ॥
Moreover, a base man should not be placed in the station of the great. For, A low person having obtained an exalted position desires to kill his master, just as a mouse having been raised to the state of a tiger went forth to kill the sage.
