अतज्ज्ञायैव विषयाः स्वदन्ते न तु तद्विदः ।
न हि पीतामृतायान्तः स्वदते कटु काञ्जिकम् ॥ ४० ॥

atajjñāyaiva viṣayāḥ svadante na tu tadvidaḥ |
na hi pītāmṛtāyāntaḥ svadate kaṭu kāñjikam || 40 ||

Fools only feed upon the objects of sense, from their ignorance of truth, but the wise men have a natural distaste for them; for they that have the relish of sweet nectar in them, cannot be disposed to taste the sour gruel or the acrid ale.
