चिरकारि-उपाख्यानम् / The Exemplum of Cirakārī: Deliberation Before Irreversible Action
Devanagari script
क्रूर स््वभाववाले पापी भी पृथक्-पृथक् सत्यकी शपथ खाकर ही आपसमें द्रोह या विवादसे बचे रहते हैं। इतना ही नहीं, वे सत्यका आश्रय लेकर सत्यकी ही दुहाई देकर अपने-अपने कर्मोमें प्रवृत्त होते हैं
Transliteration
krūra-svabhāvavāle pāpino 'pi pṛthak-pṛthak satyasya śapathaṃ kṛtvāiva parasparaṃ drohāt vā vivādāt vā rakṣyante. na kevalam; te satyam āśritya satyasyaiva duhāṃ dattvā sva-sva-karmasu pravartante.
Translation
بھیشم نے کہا—سنگدل مزاج گناہگار بھی، ہر ایک جدا جدا سچ کی قسم کھا کر ہی، باہمی دغا یا جھگڑے سے بچے رہتے ہیں۔ یہی نہیں—سچ کو سہارا بنا کر اور سچ ہی کو گواہ ٹھہرا کر وہ اپنے اپنے کاموں میں لگتے ہیں۔
