अपि ते पूजिताः पूर्वमपि ते सुहृदो मताः । ये राष्ट्रमभिमन्यन्ते राज्ञो व्यसनमीयुषः । मा दीदरस्त्वं सुहृदो मा त्वां दीर्णं प्रहासिषुः॥५-१३४-५॥
Even those once honored by you and counted as friends—when, as the king falls into adversity, they begin to treat the realm as their own—do not let such ‘friends’ tear you down, nor let them mock you when you are weakened.
