पञ्चतंत्र - लब्धप्रणाश - नीतिमार्ग

वनेऽपि सिंहा मृगमांसभक्ष्या
    बुभुक्षिता नैव तृणं चरंति ।
एवं कुलीना व्यसनाभिभूता
     न नीतिमार्गं परिलंघयंति ॥

- पञ्चतंत्र, लब्धप्रणाश

vane api simhA mRuga mAmsabhakshyA
    bubhikShitA naiva tRuNam charanti।
evaM kulInA vyasanAbhibhUtA
    na nItimArgaM parilanghayanti ॥

- panchatantra, labdhapraNAsha

A lion that is used to eating meat after hunting deer and other creatures will not eat grass even when it is hungry. Just like that, even when troubled by miseries, a person of noble birth (and intentions) will never stray from the path of morality.

- Panchatantra, Labdhapranasha

पञ्चतंत्र - लब्धप्रणश - कंटकेनेव कंटकम्

शत्रुमुन्मूलयेत्प्राज्ञः तीक्ष्णं तीक्ष्णेन शत्रुणा |
व्यथाकरं सुखार्थाय कंटकेनेव कंटकम् ||

- पञ्चतंत्र, लब्धप्रणश

A strong enemy must be vanquished by taking help of another enemy. To relieve the pain, a thorn must be taken out (of the foot) by using another thorn only.

- Panchatantra, Labdhapranasha
