Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 9
तच्छ्रुत्वा सेवकेन
प्रकुप्योक्तं -- यस्य स्वामिनो गृह एतादृशी भार्या
तत्र सेवकेन कथं स्थातव्यम् यत्र च प्रतिक्षणं गृहिणी
सेवकस्य मुखं जिघ्रति । ततोऽसावुत्थाय चलितः ।
साधुना यत्नात्प्रबोध्य धृतः । अतोऽहं ब्रवीमि -- उत्पन्नामापदम् इत्यादि ।
ततो यद्भविष्येणोक्तम् --
यदभावि न तद्भावि भावि चेन्न तद् अन्यथा ।
इति चिन्ताविषघ्नोऽयमगदः किं न पीयते ॥
Hearing those words (of the woman) the servant getting angry said - Who can stay in the house of a master whose wife is of this sort, house wherein the mistress smells the mouth of a servant every moment? Saying this he got up and walked off. The merchant with great difficulty persuaded him and retained him in his service. Hence, I say - He is really talented who counter-acts etc. Thereafter Yadbhavishya said - What is not to happen can never happen and what is to happen can never be otherwise, why is this medicine, which destroys the poison of anxiety, not drunk?
