2.283

laulyād, yathā-
bāleya-taṇḍula-vilopa-kadarthitābhir
etābhir agni-śaraṇeṣu sadharmiṇībhiḥ |
utrāsahetum api daṇḍam udasyamānam
āghrātum icchati mṛge munayo hasanti ||

From greed, as in:
'When a deer wishes to sniff the staff being raised
as a cause of fright by the ascetics' wives,
who are distressed by the destruction of rice meant for offerings in the sacrificial fires,
the sages laugh.'

(a.rā. 2.20)

2.283.p2

atra mṛgāṇāṃ santrāsana-yaṣṭi-samāghrāṇa-laulyena munīnāṃ hāsaḥ |

Here, the laughter of the sages is caused by the deer's greed in sniffing the frightening stick.
