नारदस्मृति - तमस्युग्रे निमज्जतः

न बान्धवा न सुहृदो न धनानि महान्त्यपि ।
अलं धारयितुं शक्ताः तमस्युग्रे निमज्जतः ॥

- नारदस्मृति

When one is really deep trouble, nobody can save him - not relatives, not well wishers, not even loads of money. This is apparent when one is stung by a scorpion.

- Narada Smriti
