32.10

rasā pagāmaṃ na niseviyavvā pāyaṃ rasā dittikarā narāṇaṃ |
dittaṃ ca kāmā samabhiddavaṃti dumaṃ jahā sāuphalaṃ va pakkhī ||

Tasty foods should not be consumed excessively; / for tasty foods usually excite men;
and desires eagerly attack an excited man, / just as birds [fly] toward a tree with sweet fruit.
