हितोपदेश - मित्रलाभ - अर्थ

उपार्जितानामर्थानां त्याग एव हि रक्षणम् ।
तडागोदरसंस्थानां परीवाह इवांभसाम् ॥

- हितोपदेश, मित्रलाभ

The only way one must protect the wealth accumulated is by donating a part of it to the needy. That way those who have no money will not be antagonistic towards him. A water in the tank is protected (during rainy seasons) by creating small channels that lead water out of the tank.

- Hitopadesha, Mitralabha
