मित्रद्रोहो हि पातकः



यस्य वृक्षस्य शाखायां निषीदेत शयेत वा।
न तस्य शाखां भञ्जेथा मित्रद्रोहो हि पातकः॥
जातके॥
yasya vṛkṣasya śākhāyāṁ niṣīdeta śayeta vā|
na tasya śākhāṁ bhañjethā mitradroho hi pātakaḥ||
jātake||
One who has taken rest under the shadow of a tree, or has slept to his hearts contents lying down in that cool niche should never cut off the branches of that very tree ..
Causing damage to a friend and benefactor is an unpardonable sin..
A quote from Jathaka.. the series of stories in the Buddhistic way.. written mostly in Pali language..
