gratitude

[Guest guest]

Maha Bharata, Shanti parva chapter CLXXII

 

24 Is ocame about that even the very robbers refused to eat the flesh of

that vile man. Though cannibals, O king, they would not eat an ungrateful

person.

 

25. There is expiation, O king, for one who slays a brahmana, for onw who

drinks wine, for one who steals, for one that not fulfilled a vow. But

there is no expiations for an ungrateful person.

 

26. For that cruel and mean man who does injury to a friend and turns

ungrateful, is not eaten even by the very canniblas not the worms that feed

on carrion.
