'श्रिया ह्यभीक्ष्णं संवासो मोहयत्यविचक्षणम् ।
अथैनं रूपमानश्च धनमानश्च विन्दति ॥
 
"A constant association with riches con-
founds the undiscerning person. Pride of
his own beauty and wealth come to him

'नात्यक्त्वा सुखमाप्नोति नात्यक्त्वा विन्दते परम्।
नात्यक्त्वा चाभयशेते त्यक्त्वा सर्व सुखी भवेत् ॥
 
"Not without giving up does one attain
happiness ; not without giving up does
one attain the Supreme ; not without
giving up does one rest without any fear;
giving up everything, one becomes happy.
 
'सर्वसाम्यमनायासस्सत्यवाक्यं च [भारत] ।
निर्वेदश्चाविधित्सा च यस्य स्यात्स सुखी नरः ॥
