13: Begging<br />

239. Na taṁ yāce yassa piyaṁ jigiṁse,<br />

Desso hoti atiyācanāya.<br />

Nāgo maṇiṁ yācito brāhmaṇena,<br />

Adassanaṁ yeva tad-ajjhagāmā.<br />

You should not beg from one whose love you want,<br />

Begging too much is disagreeable.<br />

The brāhman begged for the dragon's jewel,<br />

He went from there and was never seen again.<br />
