1.8.38

gūḍhaṃ pratasthe kṛta-moṣam ātmajaṃ
dhartuṃ prasūr eṣa nirīkṣya cādravat |
prasiddhir eṣā khalu lokataḥ śataṃ
dṛśor mataṃ hartari bhartari dvayam || [upajāti 12]

The mother stepped forth secretly to seize her son who had committed the theft;
and seeing her, he ran away.
This is indeed a well-known proverb among the people:
"A thief has a hundred eyes; a master has only two." ||
