© © ©

The stone is worn away at last. @ @ ©■

More is the fruit of much.

© © © By performing the obsequies of an

unclaimed corpse, the reward of ten million sacrifices will be obtained.

@ ® @ The destitute has God for his pro¬

tector. © © ©

Of all the senses, sight is the chief.

© © © Whether he have talent or be without

it, a companion is an additional strength; if deprived of husk the rice will not sprout.

row, happiness; happiness and sorrow revolve like a disc.

a lion. © © ©

Where there is friendship, the friend is never far off.

SANSKRIT PROVERBS 5

Hard working men in their own busi¬ ness, but rogues in their master’s busi¬ ness.

© © © A wise man gains his object; in fail¬

ure is foolishness. © © ©

A fool is honored in his own house; a proprietor is honored in his own vil¬ lage ; a king is honored in his own coun¬ try ; a learned man is honored every¬ where.

©i i©i ©*

Having crossed yourself, get others across.

© © © What is an excessive burden for the

powerful? What is distant for the en¬ terprising? What is foreign to the edu¬ cated ? Who is a stranger to those who speak kindly?

© © © Dismay, the obstacle to all enterprises,

is by all means to be eschewed; there¬ fore, having discarded dismay, success in what is to be accomplished is at¬ tained.

6 SANSKRIT PROVERBS

An unguarded object remains safe, if protected by destiny; stricken by destiny it perishes though well guarded. One lives, though abandoned in a wood without a protector; one lives not in a house, though precaution be taken.

© © © As much as independence extends so

far is birth profitable; if those who are in subjection to others live, who are dead?

© ® © He stoops for the sake of rising; for

the sake of living he resigns his breath; he becomes miserable for the sake of pleasure. Who is a greater fool than a servant ?

© © © A man by his own acts goes down and

down, or moves upwards, as the digger of a well, or the builder of a wall.

© © © Is there anything naturally beautiful

or not beautiful? Whatever is pleasing to anyone, that is beautiful for him.

SANSKRIT PROVERBS 7

float! © © ©

© © © Action may vary, but substance can¬

not.

8 SANSKRIT PROVERBS

It is not likely that a man who could flee on his feet would crawl on his knees.

© © © Not even a hundred injunctions could

move a man to action as readily as the desire for gain.

© @ © It is not the fault of the post that a

blind man cannot see it.

© © © A fool’s refuge is a fool.

One lump of clay (is moulded) into vessels of many forms, one lump of gold (is made) into ornaments of many shapes; (all) cow-milk is one though yielded by many cows; so the one Su¬ preme soul resides in many bodies.

© © © Silence is half consent.

© © © Through silence there is no quarrel,

through vigilance there is no fear.

© © © Where smoke, there fire.

As the seed, so the sprout.

© © © If a man’s heart be impure, all things

will appear hostile to him.

© ® © What will the Shastra do for him who

has no sense of his own? What will a mirror do for him who has lost his eyes?

© © © He (truly) lives by whom many live.

In every country, that custom prevails which has come down from generation to generation.

As is the perception, so is the fulfil¬ ment.

© © © He who flees from an ill-governed

town will live.

© © © Even the favor of a man of ill-regu¬

lated mind is to be dreaded.

The form is small, the qualities are great.

© © © The observance of ordinances is the

first duty. © © © Arl

When-the goddess of wealth came, it was like the water in a coconut; when she departed it was like the wood-apple eaten by an elephant.

© © © They know not their own defects who

search for the defects of others.

SANSKRIT PROVERBS 11

He who looks upon all living beings as upon himself, sees.

@ @ ® The heart of the wise is soft as a

lotus flower in prosperity, but in ad¬ versity it is as firm as a mountain rock.

© @ @ \

Trees loaded with fruit are bent down; the clouds when charged with fresh rain hang down near the earth: even so good men are not uplifted through prosperity. Such is the natural character of the liberal.

© @ © A ball, though it fall to the ground,

flies up again by the strokes of the hand. Even so the misfortunes of good men are not often lasting.

@ @ @ The tree that is cut down grows

again; the moon that wanes after a time waxes again. Thus do wise men reflect and, though distressed, are not over¬ whelmed.


It is not the fault of the spring* that the leafless tree does not produce leaves; it is not the fault of the sun that the owl cannot see by day; it is not the fault of the raincloud that the drops do not fall into the cuckoo’s mouth. Who shall reverse that which fate has written on the forehead of each?

© © © The constant man loses not his vir¬

tue in misfortune. A torch may point towards the ground, but its flame will still point upwards.

' © © © The wise must be respected, even

when the advice they give us is not suit¬ able.

© © © Want of practice (makes) science

poison, indigestion (makes) food poison.

© © © Those without a leader perish; those

with a youthful leader perish; those with a female leader perish: those with manv leaders r>pWoV>


When the mind is grieved and uncon¬ soled, all is disgust.

© © © Bodies are transitory, riches are not

lasting; death is always at hand; (there¬ fore) virtue should be practiced.

© © © The strength of men is rooted in food.

© © © The body, form and sense depend

upon the food. © © ©

A plan considered (by man) in one way is considered by God in another.

© © © Although unasked, you should speak

auspiciously. © © ©

Learning depends on practice, intel¬ lect on former deeds; whealth follows exertion, and success, good fortune.

This pomp is for the protection of the clout.

A stick has ten uses.


Where frogs are the croakers, there silence is becoming.

0 0 0 Liberality, sweetness of speech, cour¬

age, judgment, these four natural quali¬ ties are not attained by practice.

0 0 0 otHH The defect of poverty is the destroyer

of a host of virtues.

0 © 0 Complaisance empties the purse.

@ 0 0 Though he be adorned with learning,

a bad man is to be shunned; is a snake adorned with a gem not to be feared? (A jewel is said to be found in the head of a snake.)

0 0 0 £ The king is the strength of the weak,

crying is the strength of children.

A wicked wife, a false friend, a serv¬ ant with pride and living in a house with a snake are (causes of) death, without doubt.


Mountains-are beautiful at a distance, rugged when near.

© # © A foul-mouthed man, a man without

employment, a low fellow, a revengeful man—these four are base from their evil deeds; the base-born are better.

@ @ @ The foot should be placed (on a spot)

seen to be clean, water should be drunk after having been strained through a cloth; a word should be spoken with truth, (a business) should be done with consideration.

@ @ The way of justice is mysterious.

© © ® Courage is in all things a means (of

success). @ @ @

It is not a house they call the house, but the housewife.

No relative is equal to learning; no enemy is equal to disease; no aftection is equal to that for a child; there is no Dower greater than that of Fate.


Better is the edge of a sword, or to live under a tree—better is it to beg, to starve, or even to fall into the dreadful hell, than to depend on a purse-proud relation.

© © © Even if the sun should rise in the

west, even if the lotus should bloom on the peaks of the mountains, even if Meru should shake, even if fire should feel cold—the words of the good will surely never fail.

The ocean is the course of rivers.

© © © A greater gift than that of food, has

not been and will not be; by food this whole world, animate and inanimate, is sustained.

To quarrel with a man of good speech is better than to converse with a man of rude address.

Man is the slave of money.


Wealth stops at the house, friends and relatives at the grave; good deeds and evil deeds follow the dying man.

Those eager to amass wealth regard neither priests nor relations; those eager to indulge lust feel neither fear nor shame; those eager in the pursuit of knowledge care not for comfort or sleep; those eager to satisfy hunger re¬ gard neither the flavor nor the cookery.

There is pain in acquiring wealth, pain in preserving what has been ac¬ quired, pain in its loss, and pain in ex¬ penditure—why have such a receptacle of sorrow?

@ ® © Little learning, much pride.

A small beginning is good.

(The reward) of deeds done, be they good or evil, will assuredly be received.


There is no doing of a thing done; there is no* death for a dead man; there is no (advantage in) grief for that which is passed—this is the opinion of the learned in Vedas.

© © © The voice is the beauty of cuckoos;

chastity is the beauty of women; learn¬ ing is the beauty of the deformed; pa¬ tience is the beauty of ascetics.

© © © Anger is a cause of sin.

^ Success in an undertaking rests in

the strength of the great man, not in the means.

® © © The serpent is cruel; a wicked man is

cruel; a wicked man is more cruel:—a serpent yields to spells and medicines, but by what can a wicked man be checked ?

© © © For the wicked and the evil, the rem¬

edy is of two kinds:—either to disgrace them by strategy, or to leave them at a distance.

SANSKRIT PROVERBS l‘J

Repairing the tank-bung after the water has escaped!

0 © • An appreciator of good qualities is

pleased with a good man, but no pleas¬ ure (is experienced) by the bad man; the bee goes from the forest to the lotus, but not so the frog, though he lives with it.

@ © © Loss of intelligence is not to be ap¬

prehended in one of resolute habits, al¬ though ill-treated. A flame of fire though reversed never goes downward.

© © © If a jewel worth placing in a golden

ornament is set in lead, it neither tinkles nor shines.

© © © By wise people an appropriate ob¬

servation is accepted even from a child. On the invisibility of the sun, is not the light of a lamp availed of?

© ©• © The tempest does not uproot tender

grasses, which bend quite low. It throws down, indeed, lofty trees. The great expend valor only on the great.


A king should not tolerate even his children breaking his commands; else what difference is there between a king and the picture of a king.

© © © From thieves, from officials, from

enemies, from the king’s favorite, and from his own avarice, a king should pro¬ tect his subjects, like a father.

The dexterous make even untruths ap¬ pear truths; as people skilled in paint¬ ing can make hollows and eminences on a level surface.

In case of misfortune, in going on a wrong course, and on the opportunities for efficacious action passing away; a friendly man, even unasked, should ut¬ ter useful advice.

A man should not enter into alliance ^ith his enemy, even with the tightest bonds of union. Water made ever so hot, will still quench fire.


Birds and beasts unite from motives of convenience; fools from fear and stu¬ pidity; and just men at sight.

© © © Although friendship between good

men be interrupted, still their principles remain unaltered. The stalk of the lotus may be broken, and the fibres remain connected.

© © © A man should abandon that country,

wherein there is neither respect, nor employment, nor connections, nor the advancement of science.

© © © Whether a child, or an old man, or a

youth, come to thy house, he is to be treated with respect; for of all men, thy guest is the superior.

A pleasant countenance, and a mien without pride; great attention to what is said, and sweetness of speech; a great degree of kindness, and the appearance of awe; are always tokens of a man’s attachment-


A man of nice feelings willingly en- countereth death, rather than submit to poverty. A fire meeteth extinction, before it will yield to be cold.

@ @ © Thou seest the fire burning on the

mountain, but not that which is under thy very feet!

© © © Poisoned wounds will not heal with¬

out the use of the lancet.

© © © Not even by the most thorough ex¬

amination, could one distinguish be¬ tween black and white, in intense dark¬ ness.

© © © He who performs an action will him¬

self reap the fruit thereof.

© © © When brothers divide wealth they

themselves become divided. © © © ' § ;

The meaning of an ambiguous ex¬ pression is to be determined from the context.


If a man with eyes is led by some¬ body else, it is clear that he does not see with his eyes!

Here is another boil on the top of a previous one!

© © © On one side a tiger, on the other a

precipice! © © ©

Like salt on a wound. © © ©

The very same face which looks large in a large mirror, appears small in the pupil of the eye.

The virtuous man appreciates virtue, the bad man appreciates it not; the strong man, and not the feeble, under¬ stands strength; the cuckoo, and not the crow, feels the influence of the spring; the elephant, and not the mouse, justly values the strength of the lion.

© © © You should practice virtue as if death

had seized you by the hair.


Sorrow is the fever of men.

By slitting the ears and cutting the tail, a dog is but a dog—not a horse, not an ass.

One should act according to the peo pie’s voice.

© © © To him who is born, death is certain.

A son-in-law is the tenth planet. (A troublesome fellow.)

© © © You may kill him who wishes to kill

you.

You may kill a man on the field of battle who attempts to kill you though he be learned in the Vedanta; you will not by that become a Brahman-slayer.

The commentary requires a commen¬ tary.


He is wise whose wrath is limited by his power.

$§£ $§£ Life goes day by day.

By delay (in using it) nectar becomes poison.

© © © Desire upon desire (causes) the

greatest sorrow; contentment, the great¬ est happiness.

© © © In eating and in business he who dis¬

cards modesty will be best off.

© © © Food is provided with the birth of

The Lord’s creation is His mere will.

In a good man, wrath (lasts) for a moment; in a middling man, for two hours; in a base man, for a day and night; in a great sinner, until death.


After the stream has been crossed what is the use of the boat on the other side?

© © © The forsaking of one who has gone

out of the right way is enjoined.

The desires of the poor spring up and perish.

© © © Perseverance, daring, courage, wis¬

dom, strength and valor—where these six are, there is God.

Superiority is not in seniority; su¬ periority is attributed to virtue.

After a fever, a purge.

© © ©

Wives can be procured in all coun¬ tries, and relatives as well, but I see not a country where there is a brother born of the same womb.


Death is the punishment of a robber; the punishment of a harlot is shaving the head; the punishment of a friend is not speaking to him.

@ ® @ A fool looks well at a distance with

his flowing garments; a fool shines so long as he says nothing.

@ ® ® Cotton is lighter than grass and a

beggar is lighter (more insignificant) than cotton—why is he not carried away by the wind? “Lest he should beg of me” (fears the wind).

@ © © Who has reached the limit of desire.

© @ © You should forsake a man for the

sake of your family; you should forsake your family for the sake of your vil¬ lage; you should forsake your village for the sake of your country; you should forsake the earth for the sake of your¬ self.

© ® © It is better to wander in a mountain-

pass with the wild beasts than to live in the palace of the gods with a fool.


Perceiving the transitory world to be like a mirage, one should associate with the good for the sake of virtue, and for the sake of happiness.

© © © The man who is entirely ignorant is

easily guided: the wise man is still more easily led: but even the Supreme Being himself cannot influence the smatterer.

There are two uses both for a gar¬ land of flowers and also for a wise man—they may be exalted on the head or wither in the forest.

© © © The lion, though young, attacks the

elephant infuriated with passion. The energy of the noble-minded man pro¬ ceeds from his natural disposition, not from his youth.

© © © •

Giving, consuming, and loss, are the three ways by which wealth is dimin¬ ished. The man who neither gives nor spends has vet the third wav open to him


A king full of wrath hath no friend. The sacred fire burns even the priest who offers the sacrifice if he touches it.

Deer, fish and virtuous men, who only require grass, water and peace in the world, and wantonly pursued by hunts¬ men, fishermen and envious people.

© © @ The king who makes prosperity de¬

pendent on a minister, on the happen¬ ing of calamity sinks, like the blind without guides.

$ © © Although committing faults, he who

is beloved is indeed beloved; to whom is the body not dear, although defiled by endless imperfections?

A bad person reverts to his natural character even while being assiduously well treated: as a dog’s tail, with all expedients of warming and anointing, remains bent.


How can the promotion and honour of the vile conduce to conciliation? Poison-trees, though watered with nec¬ tar, do not bear wholesome fruits.

© © © Any bad person acquires lustre from

the beauty of his patron; like smutty collyrium applied to the eye of a lovely woman.

© © © In sandal trees there are serpents. In

the waters with lotuses there are also alligators. There are no unobstructed pleasures.

© © © When in peace he should perceive

nothing beneficial to himself; then the wise man dies combating with the enemy.

© © © Knowledge is the most precious treas¬

ure of all things, because it can never be given away, nor stolen, nor con¬ sumed.

© © © A good man may fall, but he falls as

a ball; an ignoble man falls like a lump of clay.


Learning to the inexperienced is a poison; eating upon a full stomach is a poison; the society of the vulgar is a poison.

© © ©

A fool too may shine in the assembly, dressed in fine garments; he shineth no longer, however, than he holdeth his tongue.

© © © If, by the decree of fate, the world

were ever to become deprived of lotuses, would the swan scratch at the dust-heap like the cock?

© © © A thing done at a wrong time would

be regarded as not done.

© © * © The tip of a finger cannot be touched

by itself. @ © ©

From seeing smoke rising from one house we do not infer that there is a fire in another house.


Fruitful trees bend down, men of wisdom stoop;—a dry stick and a fool can be broken but not bent.

© © © No pleasure is obtained without pain.

© © © There is no greater sin than a lie.

@ © © A husband is the ornament of women.

© © © There is no village—how can there be

a boundary? There is no learning—how can there

be fame? There is no wisdom—-how can there

be salvation? There is no faith—how can there be

understanding?

© © © What is the use of oil to an extin¬

guished lamp? What is the use of care after the thief has gone?

© © © A mean fellow promises and does not;

a good man promises not, but does.


Wood is beautified by chiseling; cop¬ per is polished by tamarind; the road is cleansed by the wind.

@ © © The rivers themselves drink not

(their) water, nor do the trees eat (their own) sweet fruit; the clouds eat not the crops—the riches of the good are (employed) for the benefit of oth¬ ers.

Proficiency in advising others is easy to all men; few are the great men who themselves practice virtue.

@ @ @ One interested in our welfare is a

relative, though a stranger; one in¬ jurious is a stranger, though a relative; disease is hurtful, though born in our body; medicine is beneficial though pro¬ duced in a forest.

© © @ Sorrow for (the loss of) a father

(lasts) six months; sorrow for a mother, a year; sorrow for a wife until a sec¬ ond wife (comes) ; sorrow for a son, for ever.


A man of evil repute is, though liv¬ ing, as one dead.

@ @ @ In the absence of men, all women are

chaste. © # @

Learning, in the book, is not learn¬ ing, and money in the hand of another is not money when the time (of need) arises.

©* @ @ Knowledge of the possibility of the

act is an inseparable motive to perse¬ verance.

@ @ @ Keeping away from the mire is better

than washing it off.

© © @ Even at the cost of his life, one should

preserve his honor; life is transient, honor is as lasting as the moon and stars.

of separation; just as birth does the ap¬ proach of inevitable death.


As one piece of wood and another piece of wood may meet together in the ocean; and, having met, may part again, —such-like is the meeting of human be¬ ings.

@ @ ® As the streams of rivers flow on, and

return not; so also day and night for¬ ever proceed, taking with them the life of mortals.

© @ @ The soul is a river, whose holy conflu¬

ence is self-restraint, whose water is truth, whose bank is morality, whose waves are compassion. Here perform ablutions, 0 son of Pandu! The inward soul is not purified by water.

@ @ @ A king should not make war upon

many opponents at once. Even a fierce serpent is infallibly destroyed by swarming insects.

@ A wicked person is like an earthen

pot, easy to break and hard to join to¬ gether again; but a good person, like a vessel of gold, is hard to sever, but quickly to be united.

3fi SANSKRIT PROVERBS

For a mind spoiled by the wicked there is no confidence even in the good. Does not a child scalded by porridge eat even curds after they have been blown upon.

@ # © The covetous should be won over with

money; the haughty, by joining the hands; a fool, by humoring his inclina¬ tion ; a wise man, with truth.

the ocean is as a single drop (to th base).

serpent’s feet.

@ @ @ The cuckoo feels no pride in the pos¬

It is possible to stop fire with water, rain and heat with an umbrella, an ele¬ phant with a sharp hook, a bull or ass with a stick, a disease with medicines, and venom by the use of various spells; for everything there is a remedy pro¬ vided in the Shatres—but there is no cure for the headstrong.

A reasonable word should be received even from a child or a oar rot

38 Sanskrit proverbs

The peacock is in the mountain and the clouds in the sky; at the distance of a hundred thousand vojanas is the sun, and the lotus is in the water; two hun¬ dred thousand yojanas away is the moon from its friend, the lily—what is dear to one’s heart 'is not far off.

© © © A son should be treated as a prince

for five years, as a servant for ten years and, from his sixteenth year on, as a friend.

© © © The king must answer for his coun¬

try’s sin; the priest for the king’s sin; the husband for the wife’s sin, and the Guru for the disciple’s sin.

© © © Fasting is the best medicine.

© © © The spring is the youth of trees,

wealth is the youth of men, beauty is the youth of women, intelligence is the youth of the young.


Better that a man's learning should die with him than that it should be thrown away on the foolish.

® ® @ The gem of learning is great wealth,

it cannot be shared by cousins, nor lost by robbery, nor exhausted by liberality.

® © © A sick man is the best subject for a

physician, and an active emissary for the officers of government; fools are the support of the learned, and a man of secrecy suits a king.

®' @ ® A wise man may strive to conquer,

but he should never fight; because vic¬ tory, it is observed, cannot be constant to both the combatants.

© ® ® One who is master of ever so little art

may be able, on a great occasion, to root up trees with as much ease as the cur¬ rent of a river the reeds and grass.

© ® © A store of grain, O king! is the best

© * An enemy’s army which has been

harassed for a long time, may be easily defeated.

® @ © The alligator, matchless as he is, when

he quitteth the water is without power. Were even the lion to forsake the for¬ ests, he would doubtless be upon a level with the jackal.

© © An alliance may be formed with an

assisting enemy, but not with an injur¬ ing friend. Helping and injuring is alone worthj^ to be regarded as the dis¬ tinguishing characteristics of these two.

How can there be the displacing of one who is already invested with au¬ thority? Favor conferred on the low, O king! is like an impression on the sands


Forbearance towards both an enemy and a friend is, of a truth, the ornament of ascetics; but towards offending be¬ ings it is, verily, for kings, a defect.

© © @ As long as a danger is not arrived, so

long there should be apprehension about it; perceiving the danger arrived, one should attack it fearlessly.

© © © One not in his own place is destroyed

by even an insignificant enemy; an alli¬ gator, though very small in water, drags in even an elephant.

© © @ Neither gift of land, nor gift of gold,

nor gift of cattle, nor gift of food, is as the gift of security from danger.

© © © Day by day Death approaches nearer

the vicinity of a living creature; just as slaughter to a victim being led along step by step.

© © © What benefit is there in a son who is

neither learned nor virtuous? Of what use is a sightless eve9


One child of genius is a blessing; not so even a hundred fools. A single moon dispelleth darkness better than a host of stars.

@ @ Fortune attendeth that lion amongst

men who exerteth himself. They are weak men who declare fate the sole cause.

# © © As the chariot will not move upon a

single wheel, even so fate succeedeth not without human exertion.

® © © As the potter formeth the lump of

clay into whatever shape he liketh, even so may a man regulate his own actions.

® © © As a piece of glass, from the vicinity

of gold, acquireth the color of a topaz; so a fool may derive some consequence from the presence of a wise man.

@ @ @ In a noble race, levity without virtue

is seldom found. In a mine of rubies, when shall we find pieces of glass?


No man beholdeth prosperity who doth not encounter danger; but having encountered danger, if he surviveth, he beholdeth it.

rant. © © ©

It is not right for one to cut down even a poisonous tree which he himself has reared.


Poison is the remedy for poison.

Nectar should be taken out of poison; a well-spoken word should be received even from a youth; rectitude should be acknowledged even in an enemy; and gold should be taken even out of filth.

there is no one the enemy of another: friends, as well as enemies, are created through our transactions.

© © © A friend may be known in adversity,

a hero in battle, an honest man in a loan, a wife when riches are spent, and a relation in trouble.

46 SANSKRIT PROVERBS /

A man should forsake such a friend as speaketh kindly to his face, and be¬ hind his back defeateth his designs. He is like a pot of poison with a surface of milk.

© © © A man should not form any ac¬

quaintance, nor enter into any amuse¬ ments, with one of an evil character. A piece of charcoal, if it be hot, burn¬ etii ; and if cold, it blackeneth ‘the hand.

@ © © Even amongst brutes, confidence is

perceived in those in-whose every action there is innocence. The innate disposi¬ tion of the good doth not vary from the principles of integrity.

© © © The mind of a good man doth not

alter, even when he is in distress.

© © © The poison of a scorpion is in his tail;

the poison of a fly is in his head; the poison of a serpent is in his fang; the poison of a bad man is in his whole body.


Useless is rain to the sea, and useless is food to one satisfied; useless is a gift to a rich man, useless is youth to a poor man. f/ - © © ©

In a fight between bulls, the calf’s leg is broken.

© © © Leave off a hundred (works) and eat. In a hundred, one hero is found; in a

thousand, one Pandit.

© © © The body is the abode of diseases.

© © © Moral rectitude is everywhere an or¬

nament. ^o|*

Do today what must be done tomor¬ row.

© © © Of the six flavors, salt is the chief.

© © © Good men are energetic in seeking the

good of others. © © ©

Food should be eaten with affection.


Vice and virtue spring from associa¬ tion.

© © © In the world’s ocean is grief.

© © © The good are always ready to be the

upholders of the good in their misfor¬ tunes. Elephants even are wont to bear the burthens of elephants who have sunk in the mire.

© © © As often as thou shalt be deprived of

the society of the good, so often shalt thou fall into the company of knaves.

© © © A friend, who is so by nature, is the

gift of Providence. Such unfeigned friendship is not extinguished, even in misfortunes.

© © © A man who, having well compared his

own strength or weakness with that of others and after ail doth not know the difference, is easily overcome by his ' "emies.


Friends, tainted with the lust of gain, are everywhere to be found in times of prosperity; and adversity is their touch¬ stone.

He who forsakes a certainty, and de¬ pends on an uncertainty loses both the certainty and the uncertainty together.

© © © Those who are aware of it can inter¬

pret the mind from the changes of the eyes and other members; and even by the report of shape and complexion.

The moon is the light of the night, the sun is the light of the day; virtue is the light of the three worlds; a good son is the light of the family.

Say, what does not good association do for men ? It removes the dullness of their intellects; it sprinkles truth in their speech; it gains the highest hon¬ ors for them; expels sin from them; it purifies their mind, and spreads their fame towards all quarters.


Speak the truth, and speak to please; speak not the truth, to displease; speak not untruth, to please; this is eternal virtue.

© © © A friend can be gained by transpar¬

ency (of conduct) ; an enemy, by pru¬ dence and power; a miser, by money; a master, by service; a Brahman, by kind¬ ness ; a young wife, by tenderness; rela¬ tives, by patience; a passionate man, by praise; a priest, by reverence; a fool, by stories; a wise man, by learning; a man with a taste, by humoring him; and all, by good conduct.

© © © The effect of music is but immediate.

© © © If there be great learning, what of

mc::ey? if there be an ill name, what of death?

© © © A thief’s offer of his limbs for ex¬

amination when the gold has been found under his armpit!


A hyena does not find a suitable op¬ ponent in a young fawn.

© © © Who befriends, he is a relation; who

supports, he is a father ; he is a friend, in whom there is confidence; she is a wife, in whom there is pleasure.

A lamp will not throw light on an ob¬ ject before it is (lighted and) brought in.

© © © Anything that has been made is not

eternal. © © ©

He who causes a thing to be done is the real doer of it.

© © © Running away through fear of a scor¬

pion, he falls into the jaws of a poison¬ ous snake! (From the frying pan into the fire.)

© © © The snake stupified by its own poison

bites its own body.


When the loss of all is impending, a wise man will give up half.

© © © All hath been read, all hath been

heard, and all hath been followed by him, who having put his hope behind him, dependeth not upon expectation.

© © © Giving with kind words, knowledge

without pride, heroism accompanied by clemency, and wealth with liberality, are four excellences hard to be found.

© © © Men of philosophic minds do not long

for what is not attainable, and are not willing to lament what is lost; neither are they wont to be embarrassed in times of calamity.

© © • As frogs to the pool, as birds to a lake

full of water; so doth every species of wealth necessarily flow to the hands of him who exerteth himself.

© © © For the belly’s sake many disguises

are assumed.


Men who are acquainted with their own nature pass their days, until the period of death, in gladness.

© © © Man should not be over anxious for a

subsistence, for it is provided by the Creator. The infant no sooner droppeth from the womb, than the breasts of the mother begin to stream.

i©i

He, by whom the geese were formed white, parrots were stained green, and peacocks painted of various hues—even He will provide for their support

© © © Endeavor makes the man,

© © © Fortune favors the persevering and

stout-hearted. © © ©

By doing good to base men, evil re¬ sults; the drinking of milk is to snakes only an increasing of poison.

© © © That which is possible by stratagem

is ^nt possible by vaW


In hot weather, (people say) “Let there be cold”; in cold weather, “Let there be great heat.”

© © © Debt, a sore and a stain will be ef¬

faced in time.

One commits sin, many persons suf¬ fer the consequences.

© © © A chariot will not go on one wheel.

© © © The flowers of the fig tree, a white

colored crow, a fish’s foot in the water, one may see—but not what is in a woman’s mind.

© © ♦© Whom on earth will a handsome

woman not subdue?

© © © Concealment itself reveals the wishes.

© © © Barren as a plantain, barren as a

crow.


The crow is black, the cuckoo is black; there is no difference between the cuckoo and the crow: but as spring nights appear, the crow is a crow,- the cuckoo a cuckoo.

@ © © Day and night, evening and morning,

winter and spring, come again and again; time sports, life goes, but never¬ theless the chain of desire loosens not.

The ways of time are capricious.

He (truly) lives, who has acquired fame.

© © @ As a family (is ruined) by a bad son.

© @ @ The production of a flower in a

flower, has never been heard of, nor seen.

A miser’s wealth goes by fire, rob¬ bers, and kings.


To those who are fallen into misfor¬ tunes, what was a blessing becometh an evil: to a child in confinement, its mother's knee is a binding post.

Fortitude in adversity, and modera¬ tion in prosperity; eloquence in the sen¬ ate, and courage in the field; great glory in renown, and labor in study; are the natural perfections of great minds.

$§£

A combination even of small things serveth an occasion. A mad elephant may be bound with a few straws, when formed into a rope.

@ © Men are the same as other animals,

in eating, sleeping, fearing and propa¬ gation. Reason, alone, is man’s superior distinction. Deprived of reason, he is upon an equality with the brutes.

® Like milk and water. (Close friend¬

ship.)


Hospitality is commanded to be exer¬ cised, even towards an enemy, when he cometh to thine house. The tree does not withdraw its shade, even from the wood-cutter.

© © © Fire burns forests and wind is a

friend (assists) ; but that very wind proves destructive to the lamp. W110 is honored when reduced (in circum¬ stances).
