Hitopdesh • Chapter 1 • Shloka 25
तत् कथमिदानीमेते मम पुत्रा गुणवन्तः क्रियन्ताम् । यतः ।
आहारनिद्राभयमैथुनं च सामान्यमेतत्पशुभिर्नराणाम् ।
धर्मो हि तेषामधिकः विशेषो धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः ॥
Then how shall I now make my sons accomplished! For: Food, sleep, fear and the enjoyment of carnal pleasures - these men share in common with animals; surely the sense (or performance) of duty is their special attribute (distinguishing mark), devoid of this they are degraded to the level of (stand on a level with) animals.
