अतिपरिचयादवज्ञा भवति विशिष्टेऽपि वस्तुनि प्रायः।
लोक: प्रयागवासी नित्यं कूपे स्नानं समाचरति॥

English – Often over-familiarity with a particular object produces contempt. A person who lives in Prayag lives near the holy confluence of three rivers and bathes daily with water drawn from a well.

Kannada – ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ವಿಶೇಷ ವಸ್ತುವಿನೊಂದಿಗಿನ ಅತಿಯಾದ ಪರಿಚಿತತೆಯು ತಿರಸ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ರಯಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುವವನು ಮೂರು ನದಿಗಳ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಸಂಗಮದ ಬಳಿ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಬಾವಿಯಿಂದ ತೆಗೆದ ನೀರಿನಿಂದ ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಸ್ನಾನ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ ಅದರಂತೆ.

Hindi – अक्सर किसी विशेष वस्तु के साथ अति-परिचितता तिरस्कार पैदा करता है। जैसे प्रयाग में रहने वाला एक व्यक्ति तीन नदियों के पवित्र संगम के पास रहते हुए भी कुएं के पानी से प्रतिदिन स्नान करता है।

Sanskrit – प्रायः वस्तुविशेषेण अतिपरिचयः अवमाननाम् उत्पादयति । प्रयागे निवसन् पुरुषः त्रिनदीनां पवित्रसङ्गमस्य समीपे निवसति चेदपि कूपात् आकृष्टेन जलेन नित्यं स्नानं करोति ।
