नत्वाहं कौशिक ब्रूमि भुंजाहि च ददाहि च ।
आर्यमार्गसमापन्नो एकांशं विन्दते सुखं ॥ १५ ॥
natvāhaṃ kauśika brūmi bhuṃjāhi ca dadāhi ca |
āryamārgasamāpanno ekāṃśaṃ vindate sukhaṃ || 15 ||
I tell you, Koshika, to eat only after sharing. Thus will you enter on the noble path. He finds no happiness who lives for himself. (15)
