Friedrich Max Muller
 The fields are damaged by weeds, mankind is damaged by passion: therefore a gift bestowed on the passionless brings great reward. |
| The five troubles or evils of the mind are passion, anger, ignorance, arrogance, pride,to anything, rejoice in freedom from attachment, whose appetites have been conquered, and who are full of light, are free (even) in this world. |
| The follower of the law, even if he can recite only a small portion (of the law), but, having forsaken passion and hatred and foolishness, possesses true knowledge and serenity of mind. |
| The fool who knows his foolishness, is wise at least so far. |
| The gift of the law exceeds all gifts; the sweetness of the law exceeds all sweetness; the delight in the law exceeds all delights; the extinction of thirst overcomes all pain. |
| The king of death does not see him who thus looks down upon the world. |
| The man who gives himself to drinking intoxicating liquors, he, even in this world, digs up his own root. |
| The man who is free from credulity, but knows the uncreated, who has cut all ties, removed all temptations, renounced all desires, he is the greatest of men. |
| The other shore is meant for immortality, this shore for common life. |
| The reed either dies after it has borne fruit, or is cut down for the sake of its fruit. |
| The sages who injure nobody, and who always control their body, they will go to the unchangeable place (Nirvâna), where, if they have gone, they will suffer no more. |
| The sight of the elect (Arya) is good, to live with them is always happiness; if a man does not see fools, he will be truly happy. |
| The swans go on the path of the sun, they go through the ether by means of their miraculous power; the wise are led out of this world, when they have conquered Mâra and his train. |
| The taint of prayers is non-repetition; the taint of houses, non- repair; the taint of the body is sloth; the taint of a watchman, thoughtlessness. |
| The thirst of a thoughtless man grows like a creeper; he runs from life to life, like a monkey seeking fruit in the forest. |
