वाक्यं तु यो नाद्रियते<नुशिष्ट: प्रत्याह यश्चापि नियुज्यमान: । प्रज्ञाभिमानी प्रतिकूलवादी त्याज्य: स तादृक् त्वरयैव भृत्य:
Translation
ഉപദേശിച്ചിട്ടും യജമാനന്റെ വാക്കിനെ ആദരിക്കാത്തവൻ, ജോലിക്ക് നിയോഗിക്കുമ്പോൾ മറുപടി പറഞ്ഞ് എതിർക്കുന്നവൻ; സ്വന്തം ബുദ്ധിയിൽ അഹങ്കരിച്ച് പ്രതികൂലമായി സംസാരിക്കുന്നവൻ—അത്തരം ഭൃത്യനെ ഉടൻ തന്നെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കണം।
