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

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

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

Two Birds with fair wings, knit with bonds of friendship, in the same sheltering tree have found a refuge. One of the twain eats the sweet Fig-tree's fruitage; the other eating not regardeth only.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
