रामायण - अयोध्या - आम्रं छित्वा

आम्रं छित्वा कुठारेण निंबं परिचरेत्तु यः ।
यश्चैवं पयसा संचेन्नैवास्य मधुरो भवेत् ॥

- रामायण, अयोध्य

Amram ChitvA kuThAreNa nimbam paricharet tu yaH ।
yashchaivaM payasA sinchet naiva asya madhuro bhavet ॥

- rAmAyaNa, ayodhyA

One cannot change the innate nature of any being. If you cut down a neighbouring mango tree and treat the neem tree very well by pouring milk at it, it will not become any sweeter.

- Ramayana, Ayodhya
