50 passagesतथा च- विश्वासः सम्पदां मूलं तेन यूथपतिर् गजः । सिंहो मृगाधिपत्येऽपि न मृगैः परिवार्यते ॥
And likewise: Trust is the root of prosperity; therefore the elephant is the leader of the herd. Even when the lion is lord over the deer, it is not surrounded by deer.
अपरं मम कदाचित् पाश-च्छेदे कुर्वतस् ते दन्त-भङ्गो भवति । अथवा दुरात्मा लुब्धकः सम्भ्येति । तन् नूनं नरक-पात एव । उक्तं च-
Moreover, sometimes, while I am cutting the snare, your tooth breaks; or the wicked hunter comes. Then surely it is a fall into hell. It has also been said:
सदाचारेषु भृत्येषु संसीदत्सु च यः प्रभुः । सुखी स्यान् नरकं याति परत्रेह च सीदति ॥
Whatever lord is happy while his virtuous servants are sinking goes to hell; in the next world also, and here, he suffers.
तच् छ्रुत्वा प्रहृष्टो हिरण्यकः प्राह-भोः, वेद्म्य् अहं राज-धर्मम् । परं मया तव परीक्षा कृता । तत् सर्वेषां पूर्वं पाश-च्छेदं करिष्यामि । भवान् अप्य् अनेन बहु-कपोत-परिवारेण भविष्यति । उक्तं च-
Hearing that, the delighted Hiraṇyaka said, “Sir, I know the duty of a king. But I tested you. Therefore I shall cut the snare of all first. You too will have this large retinue of pigeons.” It has also been said:
कारुण्यं संविभागश् च यथा भृत्येषु लक्ष्यते । चित्तेनानेन ते शङ्क्या त्रैलोक्यस्यापि नाथता ॥
As compassion and sharing are observed toward servants, by this disposition of yours lordship even over the three worlds may be inferred.
