Verse 3.70.50

वेधनं कर्मसंश्लिष्टा कठिनापि न साकरोत् ।
न हि तीक्ष्णो बहिः कार्यो निजत्वं विजहाति चेत् ॥ ५० ॥

vedhanaṃ karmasaṃśliṣṭā kaṭhināpi na sākarot |
na hi tīkṣṇo bahiḥ kāryo nijatvaṃ vijahāti cet || 50 ||

The hard needle held in the hand of the sewer, never hurts his finger; because a servant however sharp he may be, is never faithless or is injurious to his master.
