The 6th chapter of Proverbs opens with the words: “My son, if you have gone surety for your fellowman, if you have given your handshake even to the stranger, if you have been ensnared by the sayings of your mouth, if you have been caught by the sayings of your mouth, take this action then, my son, and deliver yourself, for you have come into the palm of your fellowman: Go humble yourself and storm your fellowman with importunities. ” ​ — Proverbs 6: 1 - 3.
ह्‍याकरिता माझ्या मुला, तू असे कर की आपल्याला मुक्‍त करून घे, कारण तू आपल्या शेजाऱ्‍याच्या हाती सापडला आहेस; तर जा, त्वरा कर; आपल्या शेजाऱ्‍याला अत्याग्रहाने गळ घाल. ” — नीतिसूत्रे ६: १ - ३.
