Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 99
देव किमिति विना संधानं गमनमस्ति ।
यतस्तदास्मत्पश्चात्प्रकोपोऽनेन कर्तव्यः । अपरं च ।
योऽर्थतत्त्वमविज्ञाय क्रोधस्यैव वशं गतः ।
स तथा तप्यते मूढो ब्राह्मणो नकुलाद्यथा ॥
My lord, why should we go (from here) without concluding a treaty? For, in that case, he (Hiranyagarbha) will raise an insurrection after we leave. Again, He, who without having ascertained the real truth about a thing (the true fact) yields himself up to anger, repents, as did the thoughtless Brahmana on account of his mongoose.
