2.226
tatra nīca-tiryag-gataṃ, yathā-
velā-taṭe prasūyethā mā bhūḥ śaṅkita-mānasā |
māṃ jānāti samudro' yaṃ ṭiṭṭibhaṃ sāhasa-priyam ||
Among those, occurring in a low animal, as in: / 'Lay your eggs on the ocean shore; do not be apprehensive in your mind! / This ocean knows me to be a sandpiper fond of bold deeds.'
2.226.p1
atra yadi samudra-velāyāṃ prasūye tarhi udvela-kallola-mālābhir mamāpatyāni hṛtāni bhaveyur iti śaṅkitāyāṃ nija-gṛhiṇyāṃ kaścit ṭiṭṭibhaḥ pakṣi-viśeṣo garvāyate | tad ayaṃ garvo nīca-tiryag-gatatvād ābhāso nātīva svadate |
Here, when his wife is apprehensive, thinking, 'If I lay eggs on the sea shore, my offspring will be swept away by waves surging past their limits,' a certain sandpiper—a species of bird—feels pride. Since this pride resides in a low animal, being a semblance, it is not exceedingly delightful.
