नाब्राह्मणः कृपणॊ जातु जीवेद; या चापि सयाद बराह्मणी वीर पत्नी सॊ ऽहं यदैवाकृत पूर्वं चरेयं; विवित्समानः किम उ तत्र साधु ।। १-८७-१२ ।।

sanskrit

'Let not a non-Brahmana, nor the wife of a learned Brahmana, live in dishonor by accepting gifts. On earth, I always sought to act virtuously. How can I accept a gift now, having never done so before?' ।। 1-87-12 ।।
