मुद्रराक्षस - सेवकः

ऐश्वर्यादनपेतमीश्वरमयं लोकोऽर्थतः सेवते
    तं गच्छंत्यनु ये विपत्तिषु पुनस्ते तत्प्रतिष्ठाशया ।
भर्तुये प्रलयेऽपि पूर्वसुकृतासंगेन निःसंगया
    भक्त्या कार्यधुरं वहन्ति भवस्ते दुर्लभास्त्वादृशाः ॥

There are many who will serve the king when he is prosperous looking to gain some wealth in the process. There are a few who will serve him when he is dethroned in hope that when he regains power, he will be able to help them. But very rare (non-existent) are those people who will still work for their kings (his fame) long after the king is dead. They do it only because they remember the good deeds their king did.
