cakravāko brūte-
yo 'kāryaṃ kāryavac chāsti sa kiṃ mantrī nṛpecchayā |
varaṃ svāmi-mano-duḥkhaṃ tan-nāśo na tv akāryataḥ //
The Cakravāka said:
“Is he a minister who recommends an improper action as though it were proper, merely to please the king's desire?
Better is grief of mind for the master, but not his ruin resulting from an improper act.
