। ॥ ४५ ॥
In plain words
Feed them every day, and they sing your praises like hired flatterers, well-fed and content. Let just two or three days pass without it, and those same praisers turn furious and start reviling you.
Close to the Sanskrit
If they eat every day, well-satisfied, they praise him like bards; if that fare is withheld for an interval of two or three days, they revile him and become enraged.
