4.3.p10
‘‘Manussindaṃ jahitvāna, sabbakāmasamiddhinaṃ;
Kathaṃ nu bhagavā kesī, kappassa ramati assame.
“After leaving a king able to fulfill all desires, how, pray, does the Exalted Kesī like the hermitage of Kappa?” “Pleasant and agreeable are the trees, delighting the heart; the well-spoken words of Kappa delight me, Nārada.” “After eating the purest of hill-paddy, boiled with meat-gravy, how do you like millet and wild rice without salt?” “Whether the food be displeasing or pleasing, scanty or abundant, if only one can eat with confidence, confidence is the best flavor.”
