Hitopadesh 1 41
आरोप्यते शिला शैले यथा यत्नेन भूयसा। निपात्यते सुखेनाधस्तथात्मा गुणदोषयोः॥
āropyate śilā śaile yathā yatnena bhūyasā। nipātyate sukhenādhastathātmā guṇadoṣayoḥ॥
Hauling a rock to the top of the hill is incredibly difficult. But pushing it down is very easy. Similarly, one rises with good qualities but falls quickly due to a single misdeed.
English Translation
जैसे कोई पत्थर बड़े कष्ट से पहाड़ के ऊपर पहुँचाया जाता है पर बड़ी आसानी से नीचे गिर जाता है, वैसे ही हम भी अपने गुणों के कारण ऊँचे उठते हैं किंतु हम एक ही दुष्कर्म से आसानी से गिर सकते हैं।
