Devanagari script
सम्पन्नतरमेवान्नं दरिद्रा भुज्जते सदा । क्षुत् स्वादुतां जनयति सा चाढ्येषु सुदुर्लभा,दरिद्र पुरुष सदा स्वादिष्ट भोजन ही करते हैं; क्योंकि भूख उनके भोजनमें (विशेष) स्वाद उत्पन्न कर देती है और वह भूख धनियोंके लिये सर्वथा दुर्लभ है
Transliteration
sampannataram evānnaṃ daridrā bhuñjate sadā | kṣut svādatāṃ janayati sā cāḍhyeṣu sudurlabhā ||
Translation
Vidura said: “The poor, in truth, always eat their food as though it were most excellent. Hunger itself creates relish and sweetness in what they eat—and that kind of hunger is exceedingly rare among the wealthy.”
