Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
Devanagari script
उसका यह छिद्र देखकर पहलेके मन्त्री आपसमें कहने लगे, वह हम सब लोगोंकी जीविका नष्ट करनेपर तुला हुआ है; अतः हम भी उससे बदला लें, ऐसा निश्चय करके वे उसके अपराधोंका वर्णन करने लगे-- ।।
Translation
Увидев эту брешь, прежние министры сперва сказали друг другу: «Он вознамерился погубить пропитание всех нас; значит, и нам следует отомстить ему». Решив так, они начали перечислять его проступки: «Вот каковы его дела — чего он только не совершал? Наш владыка прежде слышал, что он человек одного склада, но ныне он уже не таков».
