चर तृणानि पिबाम्बु वनावनौ कलय विश्रमणं कदलीवने ।
चकितचातक पावकदूषिता न हि सुखाय भवत्यतिमानिता ॥ २३ ॥

cara tṛṇāni pibāmbu vanāvanau kalaya viśramaṇaṃ kadalīvane |
cakitacātaka pāvakadūṣitā na hi sukhāya bhavatyatimānitā || 23 ||

It is better for thee, O chataka! to pick up the blades of grass for thy food, and drink the water of the fountains, and rest in the shady plantain grove of the forest; than to dwell in the hollow cave of a withered tree in sultry heat, by thy pride of never stooping down for thy subsistence.
