हितोपदेश - मित्रलाभ - अर्थिता

सेवेव मानमखिलं ज्योत्स्नेव तमो जरेव लावण्यम् |
हरिहरकथेव दुरितं गुणशतमप्यर्थिता हरति ||

- हितोपदेश - मित्रलाभ

Servitude will kill any self-respect you have. Moon light will kill all darkness. Old age will kill youthfulness. Listening to stories of Lord Vishnu and Shiva will kill all your worries and troubles. Likewise, greediness will kill any other good qualities a man may have.

- Hitopadesha, Mitralabha
