Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
नृपेणाहूयमानस्य यत् तिष्ठति भयं हृदि । न तत् तिष्ठति तुष्टानां वने मूलफलाशिनाम्,राजा जिसे अपने सामने बुलाता है, उसके हृदयमें जो भय खड़ा होता है, वह वनमें फल-मूल खाकर संतुष्ट रहनेवाले लोगोंके मनमें नहीं होता
nṛpeṇāhūyamānasya yat tiṣṭhati bhayaṁ hṛdi | na tat tiṣṭhati tuṣṭānāṁ vane mūlaphalāśinām ||
When a man is summoned into the presence of a king, a fear rises and stands within his heart. That same fear does not dwell in those who are content, living in the forest and sustaining themselves on roots and fruits.
