Translation

Fruit suffices as food. For a tasty drink, water is there. The ground is used for sleeping. The bark serves as a covering for the body. I don’t have the need to tolerate the impoliteness of the wicked, whose sense organs are inebriated by drinking the wine of freshly acquired wealth! ॥ 54 ॥
