1.9

kṛmi-kula-cittaṃ lālā-klinnaṃ vigandhi-jugupsitaṃ
nirupama-rasaṃ prītyā khādan narāsthi nirāmiṣam |
surapatim api śvā pārśvasthaṃ vilokya na śaṅkate
na hi gaṇayati kṣudro jantuḥ parigraha-phalgutām ||

Devouring with delight a human bone, devoid of meat, teeming with worms,
soaked in saliva, foul-smelling, and repulsive, as if it had peerless flavor,
a dog does not flinch even seeing the lord of the gods standing nearby;
indeed, a petty creature does not consider the worthlessness of what it grasps.
