The Tipiṭaka in Three Languages

Sirimandajātaka

Suttapiṭaka · Khuddakanikāya · Jātaka (1) · Vol. 27 · Section 2099

[2099] Fortune (sirī) forsakes the dull-witted fool whose work is left unarranged, whose counsels are ill counsels, as a snake sheds its worn-out skin. Seeing this too, I say: the wise one alone is better, not a fool endowed with fame.
