Niti Shatkam • Chapter 1 • Shloka 29
क्षुत्क्षामोऽपि जराकृशोऽपि शिथिलप्राणोऽपि कष्टां दशाम्
आपन्नोऽपि विपन्नदीधितिरिति प्राणेषु नश्यत्स्वपि ।
मत्तेभेन्द्रविभिन्नकुम्भपिशितग्रासैकबद्धस्पृहः
किं जीर्णं तृणमत्ति मानमहतामग्रेसरः केसरी ॥
The lion who is the leader of the honourable and who is always fond of eating the severed head of drunken elephants, no matter how hungry, weak due to old age, powerless, extremely sad and lustful he may be - but even when the time of death comes. Will never be ready to eat dry, rotten grass.
