kva mānuṣasya piśitaṃ kva vayaścaramaṃ tava /
sarvathā duṣṭabhāvānāṃ praśamo nopapadyate //

“The Ṛṣi spoke:
“‘Thy childhood is past; thy youth, too, gone; thou art assuredly in the decline of life, O egg-born. Why art thou most malign-hearted even in old age, thou in whom of all mankind every desire has ceased? What has thy last stage of life to do with human flesh? Assuredly no one is created foremost among evil-beings! Or what need hast thou to address me, being what I am? One should always give when one has promised—such is our professed opinion.’
