Shloka 15
Devanagari script
भूतं हित्वा च भाव्यर्थे योडवलम्बेत् स मन्दधी: । अवमन्येत तं लोको यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु,जो पैदा हुए बच्चोंका परित्याग कर भविष्यमें होनेवालोंका भरोसा करता है, वह मूर्ख है; सब लोग उसका अनादर करते हैं; तेरी जैसी इच्छा हो, वैसा कर

bhūtaṃ hitvā ca bhāvyarthe yo ’valambet sa mandadhīḥ | avamanyeta taṃ loko yathecchasi tathā kuru ||
Translation
Mandapāla said: “He who abandons what is already present and clings to what is merely hoped for in the future is dull-witted. People will hold such a person in contempt. Therefore, do as you wish.”
