तीक्ष्णैरपि चिरक्षीणं पूर्यते निर्विचारणा ।
दृष्टान्तोऽत्र क्षणात्सूच्या पूरितो जर्जरः पटः ॥ ५५ ॥

tīkṣṇairapi cirakṣīṇaṃ pūryate nirvicāraṇā |
dṛṣṭānto'tra kṣaṇātsūcyā pūrito jarjaraḥ paṭaḥ || 55 ||

Thus the strong bodies of greedy and heinous beings, are nourished by the sap of the weak and innocent, as the colic disease preys on the lean bodies of the poor; and the sharp needle is supported by the thin thread of the needy.
