AVŚ 9.9.20

द्वा सुपर्णा सयुजा सखाया समानं वृक्षं परि षस्वजाते । तयोर् अन्यः पिप्पलं स्वाद्व् अत्त्य् अनश्नन्न् अन्यो अभि चाकशीति ॥२०॥

dvā suparṇā sayujā sakhāyā samānaṃ vṛkṣaṃ pari ṣasvajāte | tayor anyaḥ pippalaṃ svādv atty anaśnann anyo abhi cākaśīti ||20||

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

Two eagles (suparṇá), joint companions, embrace the same tree; of them the one eats the sweet berry; the other looks on all the time, not partaking.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
