निर्धनं पुरुषं वेश्या प्रजा भग्नं नृपं त्यजेत् ।
खगा वीतफलं वृक्षं भुक्त्वा चाभ्यागतो गृहम् ॥२.१७॥
nirdhanaṃ puruṣaṃ veśyā prajā bhagnaṃ nṛpaṃ tyajet |
khagā vītaphalaṃ vṛkṣaṃ bhuktvā cābhyāgato gṛham ||2.17||
a poor man is left by a prostitute; the subjects leave a weak king; a bird leaves a fruitless tree; after meals, the guests leave the house
