1.31
lāṅgūla-cālanam adhaś-caraṇāvapātaṃ
bhūmau nipatya vadanodara-darśanaṃ ca |
śvā piṇḍadasya kurute gaja-puṅgavas tu
dhīraṃ vilokayati cāṭu-śataiś ca bhuṅkte ||
Wagging the tail, falling down beneath the feet, / rolling on the ground, and showing mouth and belly: / these a dog performs for the one who gives him a morsel; but the noble elephant / gazes calmly, and eats only after a hundred flatteries.
