Vyāghra–Gomāyu Saṃvāda (व्याघ्रगोमायु संवाद) — Testing Character Beneath Appearances
शेरकी यह बात सुनकर उसकी माता हितकर वचनोंद्वारा उसे समझानेके लिये वहाँ आयी और बोली--'बेटा! इसमें कुछ कपटपूर्ण षड्यन्त्र हुआ मालूम पड़ता है; अतः तुम्हें इसपर विश्वास नहीं करना चाहिये ।।
śerakī etāṃ bātaṃ śrutvā tasyā mātā hitakaraiḥ vacanaiḥ taṃ bodhayituṃ tatra āgatya uvāca— “vatsa! atra kiñcit kapaṭapūrṇaṃ ṣaḍyantraṃ bhāti; ataḥ tvayā asmin viśvāso na kartavyaḥ. karma-saṅgharṣa-jaiḥ doṣaiḥ duṣṭaiḥ aśucibhiḥ śuciḥ (api) nirdoṣaḥ doṣyate. na uccitaṃ sahate kaścit prakriyā vaira-kārikā.”
毗湿摩说：听到这番话，他的母亲来到那里，用为他着想的言辞劝诫他说：“孩子啊！此事看来有欺诈的阴谋在暗中运作，因此你不可轻信。凡因争竞与冲突而染上过失、内心不净之人，往往把罪责加在无辜者身上。有些人见他人地位高于自己便不能容忍，出于嫉妒便转为仇怨——这正是仇敌之心被制造出来的过程。”

Do not hastily trust reports that may be driven by deceit or rivalry. Impure-minded people often accuse the innocent, and jealousy toward someone’s higher standing can crystallize into enmity; recognizing this pattern helps one avoid unjust suspicion and needless hostility.
A mother, hearing what has occurred, comes to her son to protect him through prudent counsel. She warns him that a deceptive conspiracy may be involved and explains how jealousy and moral impurity lead people to blame the blameless and generate enmity.
