But this king of Benares, Brahmadatta, is an ill-conditioned fellow, and he alone, I think, will plot against me; what confidence can be reposed in the wicked-minded?" Then Yaugandharáyana, being spoken to in this strain by the king, answered, " O king, Brahmadatta will not plot against you again, for when he was conquered and submitted, you shewed him great consideration; and what sensible man will injure one who treats him well? Whoever does, will find that it turns out unfortunately for himself, and on this point, listen to what I am going to say; I will tell you a tale." > — Charles Henry Tawney 1880, The Kathá Sarit Ságara, or Ocean of the Streams of Story - [Previous: 3.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara.3.6.1) - [Next: 3.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara.3.6.3) - [Up: 3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara.3.6) ## Translations (1) - [The Kathá Sarit Ságara, or Ocean of the Streams of Story](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara~en-tawney.3.6.p1) — Charles Henry Tawney 1880, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara.3.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.brhatkatha.kathasaritsagara.3.6.2) · Pramāṇa
