कृतार्था ह्यकृतार्थानां मित्राणां न भवन्ति ये। तान् मृतानपि क्रव्यादाः कृतघ्नान् नोपभुञ्जते॥
kṛtārthā hyakṛtārthānāṃ mitrāṇāṃ na bhavanti ye| tān mṛtānapi kravyādāḥ kṛtaghnān nopabhuñjate||
English Meaning
Ungrateful they are who do not, after attaining their ends, engage in the service of those of their friends who have not accomplished their objects; even those living on raw flesh do not feed on their gore after their death.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
