Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
Devanagari script
ये वैरिण: श्रद्दधते सत्ये सत्येतरेडपि वा । वध्यन्ते श्रद्धधानास्तु मधु शुष्कतृणैर्यथा,जैसे सूखे तिनकोंसे ढके हुए गड्ढेके ऊपर रखे हुए मधुको लेने जानेवाले मनुष्य मारे जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार जो लोग वैरीकी झूठी या सच्ची बातपर विश्वास करते हैं, वे भी बेमौत मरते हैं
Translation
ଯେମାନେ ଶତ୍ରୁର କଥା—ସତ୍ୟ ହେଉ କି ଅସତ୍ୟ—ତାହାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିଥିବାରୁ ହିଁ ନଶ୍ଟ ହୁଅନ୍ତି; ଯେପରି ଶୁଷ୍କ ତୃଣରେ ଢାକା ଗର୍ତ୍ତ ଉପରେ ରଖା ମଧୁ ନେବାକୁ ଯାଇ ମଣିଷ ମରେ।
