| As a fish taken from his watery home and thrown on dry ground, our thought trembles all over in order to escape the dominion of the tempter. |
| As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, wise people falter not amidst blame and praise. |
| As a tree, even though it has been cut down, is firm so long as its root is safe, and grows again, thus, unless the feeders of thirst are destroyed, the pain (of life) will return again and again. |
| As life is dear to oneself, it is dear also to other living beings: by comparing oneself with others, good people bestow pity on all beings. |
| As on a heap of rubbish cast upon the highway the lily will grow full of sweet perfume and delight. |
| As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind. |
| As rain does not break through a well-thatched house, passion will not break through a well-reflecting mind. |
| Bad conduct is the taint of woman, greediness the taint of a benefactor; tainted are all evil ways in this world and in the next. |
| Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do. |
