And being assailed by the monkeys, suka said, O Kākutstha, it does not behove (people) to slay an emissary. Do you therefore prevent the monkeys. He who passing by his master's behest, give out his own intention, is not faithful; and he therefore deserve to be slain.
वानरैः पीड्यमानस्तु शुको वचनमब्रवीत्॥ न दूतान्विन्ति काकुत्स्थ वार्यन्तां साधु वानराः। यस्तु हित्वा मतं भर्तुः स्वमतं संप्रधारयेत्। अनुक्तवादी दूतः सन्स दूतो वधमर्हति॥
