 A careless pilgrim only scatters the dust of his passions more widely. |
| A creature's pleasures are extravagant and luxurious; sunk in lust and looking for pleasure, men undergo (again and again) birth and decay. |
| A fool does not know when he commits his evil deeds: but the wicked man burns by his own deeds, as if burnt by fire. |
| A fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed. |
| A good work is pleasant in the hour of death; the giving up of all grief is pleasant. |
| A man cannot be born again in a lower world; but can only be born into a Brahman world, before he reaches Nirvâna. |
| A man is not a supporter of the law because he talks much; even if a man has learnt little, but sees the law bodily, he is a supporter of the law, a man who never neglects the law. |
| A man is not an elder because his head is grey; his age may be ripe, but he is called 'Old-in-vain.' |
| A man is not just if he carries a matter by violence; no, he who distinguishes both right and wrong, who is learned and leads others, not by violence, but by law and equity, and who is guarded by the law and intelligent, he is called just. |
| A man is not learned because he talks much; he who is patient, free from hatred and fear, he is called learned. |
| A man may have seven more births before he reaches the other shore, i.e. Nirvâna. |
| A man who has learnt little, grows old like an ox; his flesh grows, but his knowledge does not grow. |
| A wise and good man who knows the meaning of this, should quickly clear the way that leads to Nirvâna. |
| A wise man rejoices in liberality, and through it becomes blessed in the other world. |
| After a stronghold has been made of the bones, it is covered with flesh and blood, and there dwell in it old age and death, pride and deceit. |
