2. বাংলা / Bengali Script
নীচঃ শ্লাঘ্যপদং প্রাপ্য স্বামিনমেব হন্তুমিচ্ছতি। মূষিকো ব্যাঘ্রতাং প্রাপ্য মুনিং হন্তুং কৃতোদ্যমঃ॥

nīcaḥ ślāghyapadaṃ prāpya svāminameva hantumicchati | mūṣiko vyāghratāṃ prāpya muniṃ hantuṃ kṛtodyamaḥ ||
4. English Meaning / आङ्ग्लार्थः
When a lowly, ungrateful person attains a high and honorable position, he immediately desires to destroy the very master who elevated him. Just as the tiny mouse, who was transformed into a tiger (by a sage's blessing), immediately tried to kill the very sage who blessed him.
5. বাংলা অর্থ / Bengali Meaning
একজন নিচ বা অকৃতজ্ঞ লোক যখন কোনো সম্মানজনক বা উচ্চ পদ লাভ করে, তখন সে তাকে যে ওপরে তুলেছে সেই প্রভুকেই হত্যা করতে চায়। ঠিক যেমন সেই ছোটো ইঁদুরটি, যে মুনির আশীর্বাদে বাঘে পরিণত হওয়ার পর, সেই মুনিকেই খেয়ে ফেলার জন্য উদ্যত হয়েছিল।
6. हिन्दी अर्थ / Hindi Meaning
जब एक नीच (अकृतघ्न) व्यक्ति ऊँचे और सम्मानीय पद पर पहुँच जाता है, तो वह अपने ही उस मालिक को मारना चाहता है जिसने उसे वहाँ पहुँचाया। बिल्कुल वैसे ही जैसे एक छोटा सा चूहा (मुनि के आशीर्वाद से) बाघ बन जाने के बाद, उसी मुनि को मारने के लिए तैयार हो गया था।
7. संस्कृतभावार्थः
यः स्वभावतः नीचः (कृतघ्नः) अस्ति, सः यदि अन्यस्य साहाय्येन उच्चपदं प्राप्नोति, तर्हि सः सर्वप्रथमं निजम् उपकारकम् एव नाशयितुम् इच्छति। यथा पञ्चतन्त्रस्य कथायां मुनिना कृपया एकः मूषिकः व्याघ्रः कृतः, परन्तु व्याघ्रः भूत्वा सः दुष्टः तं मुनिम् एव खादितुम् ऐच्छत्।
8. अन्वयः (Compound Analysis)
