5.3.p3

‘‘Añjanānaṃ khayaṃ disvā, upacikānañca ācayaṃ;
Madhūnañca samāhāraṃ, paṇḍito gharamāvase’’ti.

Observing how pigments fade away, how ants amass their store,
How bees gather honey, so should the wise man administer his household."

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
