Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 150
इत्यालोच्याहं निर्जनवनमागतः । यतः ।
वरं वनं व्याघ्रगजेन्द्रसेवितं
द्रुमालयं पक्वफलाम्बुभोजनम् ।
तृणानि शय्या परिधानवल्कलं
न बन्धुमध्ये धनहीनजीवनम् ॥
Having thus reflected I came to a dreary forest. For, Better is a forest, haunted by tigers and lordly elephants, wherein the trees serve as a home, ripe fruits and water as food, grass as a bed and barks as garments, than a life without wealth among relatives.
