यथा ह्यनास्वादयितुं न शक्यं जिह्वातलस्थं मधु वा विषं वा ॥ कZ_०२.९.३२अब् ॥
yathā hy anāsvādayituṃ na śakyaṃ jihvātala-sthaṃ madhu vā viṣaṃ vā
舌の表面にあるものは—蜜であれ毒であれ—味わわずにはいられないように、同様に(資金を扱う官吏は自然と分け前を取る誘惑にさらされる)。
Assume temptation is structurally present wherever officials handle resources; design systems of oversight and accountability rather than relying on personal virtue alone.
