6.8.p3

‘‘Vālodakaṃ apparasaṃ nihīnaṃ,
Pitvā mado jāyati gadrabhānaṃ;
Imañca pitvāna rasaṃ paṇītaṃ,
Mado na sañjāyati sindhavānaṃ.

From drinking "strained water," a juiceless, vile drink, the asses became drunk.
But the Sindh horses, which drank the choice liquor, did not become drunk.

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