अविश्वास-निति: ब्रह्मदत्त–पूजनी-संवादः
Policy of Caution: The Brahmadatta–Pūjanī Dialogue
Devanagari script
न धन यज्ञशीलानां हार्य देवस्वमेव च । दस्यूनां निष्क्रियाणां च क्षत्रियो हर्तुमहति
Translation
ਯੱਗ-ਸ਼ੀਲ ਦਵਿਜਾਂ ਦਾ ਧਨ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੈਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ; ਦੇਵਸ੍ਵ—ਦੇਵਤਾ ਦੀ ਸੰਪੱਤੀ—ਉੱਤੇ ਵੀ ਹੱਥ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ। ਪਰ ਦੱਸੂਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਕ੍ਰਿਯ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦਾ ਧਨ ਖ਼ਤਰੀਏ ਲਈ ਹਰਣਯੋਗ ਹੈ।
