4.7

prathamavayasi pītaṃ toyam alpaṃ smarantaḥ,
śirasi nihitabhārā, nārikelā narāṇām
salilam amṛtakalpaṃ dadyur ājīvitāntaṃ;
na hi kṛtam upakāraṃ sādhavo vismaranti. || 7 ||

7. As cocoanut trees are mindful of the little water they drank
in their early youth, when they carried a heavy burden on their
heads, and so all their life long give to men a nectar-like fluid, so
the good never forget a kindness done.”
