ગુજરાતીસભાશિક્ષક ૧૦:૧૭
તારો રાજા કુલીન કુટુંબનો હોય ત્યારે દેશ આનંદ કરે છે, તારા હાકેમો કેફને સારુ નહી પણ બળ મેળવવાને માટે યોગ્ય સમયે ખાતા હોય છે. ત્યારે તો તું આશીર્વાદિત છે!
हिन्दीसभोपदेशक १०:१७
हे देश, तू धन्य है जब तेरा राजा कुलीन है; और तेरे हाकिम समय पर भोज करते हैं, और वह भी मतवाले होने को नहीं, वरन् बल बढ़ाने के लिये!

16Woe to you, land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!

17Happy are you, land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

18By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

19A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.
