Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
Devanagari script
दुःखेन श्लिष्यते भिन्न श्लिष्टं दुःखेन भिद्यते । भिन्ना श्लिष्टा तु या प्रीतिर्न सा स्नेहेन वर्तते,'प्रेमका बन्धन बड़ी कठिनाईसे टूटता है, पर जब वह एक बार टूट जाता है, तब बड़ी कठिनाईसे जुट पाता है। जो प्रेम बारंबार टूटता और जुड़ता रहता है, उसमें स्नेह नहीं होता
Translation
“Sợi dây của tình yêu khó nhọc lắm mới đứt; nhưng một khi đã đứt rồi, lại khó nhọc lắm mới nối lại được. Thứ tình cảm cứ đứt rồi nối, nối rồi đứt như thế, thì chẳng còn là ân tình chân thật.”
