સ્વાદિષ્ટ વાનગીઓથી લોભાઈ ન જા, કારણ કે તે કપટી ભોજન છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २३:३
उसकी स्वादिष्ट भोजनवस्तुओं की लालसा न करना, क्योंकि वह धोखे का भोजन है।

In context

1When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;

2put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.

3Don’t be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.

4Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

5Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
