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

他们看见这处破绽，旧臣们先彼此说道：“他一心要断绝我们众人的生计；因此我们也当向他报复。”既已如此决断，便开始陈述他的罪状：“这就是他这般的行径——还有什么是他不曾做过的？我们的主人从前听说他是那样的人，如今却全然不是了。”
