HOV
20. राजा को मन में भी शाप न देना, न धनवान को अपने शयन की कोठरी में शाप देना; क्योंकि कोई आकाश का पक्षी तेरी वाणी को ले जाएगा, और कोई उड़ाने वाला जन्तु उस बात को प्रगट कर देगा॥
ERVHI
20. राजा के विषय में बुरी बातें मत करो। उसके बारे में बुरी बातें सोचो तक मत। सम्पन्न व्यक्तियों के विषय में भी बुरी बातें मत करो। चाहे तुम अपने घर में अकेले ही क्यों न हो। क्योंकि हो सकता है कि कोई एक छोटी सी चिड़ियाँ उड़कर तुमने जो कुछ कहा है, वह हर बात उन्हें बता दे।
IRVHI
