12: Trust<br />

236. Vivicca bhāseyya divā rahassaṁ,<br />

Rattiṁ giraṁ nātivelaṁ pamuñce,<br />

Upassutīkā hi suṇanti mantaṁ,<br />

Tasmā manto khippam-upeti bhedaṁ.<br />

In the day, one should speak in seclusion,<br />

At night for a long time one should not speak,<br />

Eavesdroppers listen for confidences,<br />

Therefore a confidence is quickly broken.<br />
