Verse 64.148
उच्चारो शुष्को यथ दह्यमानो जुगुप्सनीयो परमदुर्गन्धो ।
न राजपुत्रो तहिं भवति उदग्रो तथैव कामा गर्हित पण्डितेहि ॥ १४८ ॥
uccāro śuṣko yatha dahyamāno jugupsanīyo paramadurgandho |
na rājaputro tahiṃ bhavati udagro tathaiva kāmā garhita paṇḍitehi || 148 ||
“As when dry excrement burns with a repulsive and most foul smell a king’s son is not happy there, so sensual pleasures are vile to the wise. (148)
