The wicked and the Snake | Arthashastra



दुर्जनेषु च सर्पेषु वरं सर्पो न दुर्जन:।

सर्पो दशति कालेन दुर्जनस्तु पदे-पदे। ।।


Durjaneshu Cha Sarpeshu Varam Sarpo Na Durjanah |

Sarpo Dashaati Kaalen Durjanastu Pade-pade ||


Between the wicked and the snake, the snake is less evil because it stings once while the wicked stings on every step

Snake would sting rarely and once but the wicked would sting repeatedly and even most unobtrusively. The wicked is more dangerous than even a snake.
