विप्रास्मिन्नगरे महान्कथय कस्तालद्वमाणां गणः को दाता रजको ददाति वसनं प्रातर्गृहीत्वा निशि । को दक्षः परवित्तदारहरणे सर्वोऽपि दक्षो जनः कस्माज्जीवसि हे सखे विषकृमिन्यायेन जीवाम्यहम् II९II

sanskrit

A stranger asked a Brahmin "Tell me, what is great in this city?". The Brahmin replied that the group of palm trees is great. The stranger asked who is the donor here? Answer: Mila is the washerman who takes the clothes in the morning and returns them in the evening. The question was who is the most capable here? The answer was found that everyone here is skilled in kidnapping other people's money and women. The question was how do you live in such a place? The answer was that it is like a poisonous insect that lives in poison only.
