lāṅgūlacālanamadhaścaraṇāvapātaṃ
bhūmau nipatya vadanodaradarśanaṃ ca /
śvā piṇḍadasya kurute gajapuṅgavastu
dhīraṃ vilokayati cāṭuśataiśca bhuṅkte //
Wagging its tail, falling at the feet,
and rolling on the ground to show its face and belly—
a dog does this for the one who gives a morsel; but the bull among elephants
looks on resolutely and eats only after a hundred flatteries.
