अति खल जे बिषई बग कागा। एहि सर निकट न जाहिं अभागा॥ संबुक भेक सेवार समाना। इहाँ न बिषय कथा रस नाना॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ati khal je biṣaī baga kāgā। ehi sara nikaṭa na jāhiṃ abhāgā॥ saṃbuka bheka sevāra samānā। ihāṃ na biṣaya kathā rasa nānā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Those who are utterly wicked and sensual are like unlucky herons and crows; they do not come near this lake. For here, in this Mānas-lake, there are no many stories flavored with sensual delight, like snails, frogs, or algae.
