• प्रसह्य मणिमुद्धरेन्मकरवक्त्रदंष्ट्रान्तरात्
  समुद्रमपि संतरेत् प्रचलदूर्मिमालाकुलम् ।
  भुजंगमपि कोपितं शिरसि पुष्पवद्धारयेन्
  न तु प्रतिनिविष्टमूर्खजनचित्तमाराधयेत् ॥ लभेत सिकतासु तैलमपि यत्नतः पीडयन्
  पिबेच्च मृगतृष्णिकासु सलिलं पिपासार्दितः ।
  कदाचिदपिपर्यटञ्शशविषाणमासादयेन्
  न तु प्रतिनिविष्टमूर्खजनचित्तमाराधयेत् ॥

Translation

• He may forcibly extract a jewel from between the fangs of a sea monster's mouth,
  he may cross the ocean convulsing with its trembling waves,
  he may wear an infuriated snake on his head like a flower,
  but he will not be able to please the mind of an obstinate fool.

  He may even find oil in sand by crushing it strenuously,
  and when tormented by thirst he may drink water from mirages,
  and sometimes, when wandering, he may find a rabbit's horn;
  but he will not be able to please the mind of an obstinate fool. nīṭiśataka
