Home-sick foolish wights have to put ur with shrew wives who eat up their flesh like the young ones of a crab eating up their mothers. There are men v ho through loss of understanding become very disspirited at the prospect of leaving home. They say,-These are our friends! This is our country! Alas, how shall we leave thesc?
गृहस्नेहावबद्धानां नराणामल्पमेधसाम्। कुस्त्री खादति मांसानि माघमां सेगवा इव॥ गृहं क्षेत्राणि मित्राणि स्वदेश इति चापरे। इत्येवमवसीदन्ति नरा बुद्धिविपर्यये॥
