DāsakaDāsakattheragāthā

One who gets drowsy from overeating,“Middhī yadā hoti mahagghaso ca, fond of sleep, rolling round the bedNiddāyitā samparivattasāyī; like a great hog stuffed with grain:Mahāvarāhova nivāpapuṭṭho, that dullard returns to the womb again and again.Punappunaṁ gabbhamupeti mando”ti.
