Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 133
यच्चात्रैव याच्ञया जीवनं तदतीव गर्हितम् । यतः ।
वरं विभवहीनेन प्राणैः संतर्पितोऽनलः ।
नोपचारपरिभ्रष्टः कृपणः प्रार्थितो जनः ॥
And as to living here on alms, that would be exceedingly despicable. For, it was better for a poor man to satisfy fire with his life than to solicit a mean person, lost to all civility.
