सुभाषितसुधानिधि - कुतंत्र

शाठ्येन मित्रं कपटेन धर्मं
    परोपतापेन समृद्धभावम् |
सुखेन विद्यां परुषेण नारीं
    वांछन्ति ये नूनमपण्डितास्ते ||

- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

He is a fool who thinks he can get friends by tricking people, follow dharma by deceit, can get richer (happily) by troubling others, get education by lazing around, win a woman's heart by force. A person with such beliefs is definitely fooling himself.

- Subhashtiasudhanidhi

किरातार्जुनीय - मायावि

व्रजन्ति ते मूढधियः पराभवं
    भवन्ति मायाविषु येन मायिनः |
प्रविश्य हि घ्नंति शठास्तथाविधान्
    असंवृताङ्गान् निशिता इवेषवः ||

- किरातार्जुनीय

If person does not deal with a crook in crooked manner, he is bound to face defeat. They must be paid back in their own coin. Just like how an arrow most certainly hits (and hurts) that part of the body (how ever small) that is not covered by the armor, such deceitful people search and hurt only those people who are innocent and incapable of deceit themselves.

- Kiratarjuniya

सुभाषितसुधानिधि - दम्भ

लोभः पितातिवृद्धो जननी माया सहोदरः कूटः |
भ्रुकुटीरचना च विद्या पुत्रो दम्भस्य हुंकारः ||

- सुभाषितसुधानिधि

This is the verse that enumerates the relatives of deceit. Greed is his father, illusion his mother, fraud is his brother, art of making eyebrows knot is his education and grunting is his son. Such is the nature of his company.
