When One Is Consumed By The Sorrows

Whoever Imposes Severe Punishment Becomes Repulsive To The People; While He Who Awards Mild Punishment Becomes Contemptible. But Whoever Imposes Punishment As Deserved Becomes Respectable.

Those Born Blind Cannot See; Similarly Blind Are Those In The Grip Of Lust. Proud Men Have No Perception Of Evil; And Those Bent On Acquiring Riches See No Sin In Their Actions.

Time Perfects All Living Beings As Well As Kills Them; It Alone Is Awake When All Others Are Asleep. Time Is Insurmountable.

He Who Runs Away From A Fearful Calamity, A Foreign Invasion, A Terrible Famine, And The Companionship Of Wicked Men Is Safe.

The Power Of A King Lies In His Mighty Arms; That Of A Brahmana In His Spiritual Knowledge; And That Of A Woman In Her Beauty Youth And Sweet Words.
