बुद्धिर्यस्य बलं तस्य निर्बुद्धेश्च कुतो बलम् । वने सिंहो यदोन्मत्तः मशकेन निपातितः ॥
buddhiryasya balaṃ tasya nirbuddheśca kuto balam | vane siṃho yadonmattaḥ maśakena nipātitaḥ ||

ॐ
Hindi Translation
जिसके पास में विद्या है वह शक्तिशाली है. निर्बुद्ध पुरुष के पास क्या शक्ति हो सकती है? एक छोटा खरगोश भी चतुराई से मदमस्त हाथी को तालाब में गिरा देता है.
ॐ
English Translation
He who possesses intelligence is strong; how can the man that isunintelligent be powerful? The elephant of the forest having lost his senses by intoxication was tricked into a lake by a small rabbit. (this verse refers to a famous story from the niti-sastra called pancatantra compiled by the pandit Vishnusharma 2500 years ago).
