AVŚ 5.18.7

शतापाष्ठां नि गिरति तां न शक्नोति निःखिदम् । अन्नं यो ब्रह्मणाम् मल्वः स्वाद्व् अद्मीति मन्यते ॥७॥

śatāpāṣṭhāṃ ni girati tāṃ na śaknoti niḥkhidam | annaṃ yo brahmaṇām malvaḥ svādv admīti manyate ||7||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He swallows down what (f.) has a hundred barbs; he is not able to tear it out—the fool who thinks of the food of Brahmans "I am eating what is sweet."

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
