पञ्चतंत्र - मित्रभेद - स्वदेशरागेण

यस्यास्ति सर्वत्र गतिः स कस्मात्
    स्वदेशरागेण हि याति नाशम् ।
तातस्य कूपोऽयमिति ब्रुवाणाः
    क्षारं जलं कापुरुषाः पिबंति ॥

- पञ्चतंत्र, मित्रभेद

yasya asti sarvatra gatiH sa kasmAt
    svadesharAgeNa hi yAti nAsham ।
tAtasya kUpaH ayam iti bruvANAH
    kShAram jalam kApuruShAH pibanti ॥
