𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is celebrated for the 𑌶𑌤𑌕-𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌶𑌤𑌿 - three collections of roughly a hundred verses each: 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍, 𑌶𑍃𑌂𑌗𑌾𑌰 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍, and 𑌵𑍈𑌰𑌾𑌗𑍍𑌯 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍. These are among the most quoted 𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌾𑌷𑌿𑌤𑌾𑌨𑌿 in Sanskrit literature because each 𑌶𑍍𑌲𑍋𑌕 is compact, memorable, and rooted in lived observation.

Among them, 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍 is a handbook of 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿: wise conduct, discernment, and ethical practicality. It does not speak in abstract ideals alone; it speaks to how people actually behave - how learning can swell into ego, how power attracts flattery, how money reshapes relationships, and how speech can either heal or burn. That realism makes it easy to recognize yourself, and therefore to correct yourself.

The work is timeless because the inner forces it describes are timeless: 𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌰 (envy), 𑌸𑍍𑌮𑌯 (pride), 𑌅𑌬𑍋𑌧 (confusion), 𑌤𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣𑌾 (craving), and 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment) operate the same in every age. Whether the arena is a royal court or a modern office, whether gossip travels by rumor or by group-chat, the same patterns repeat - and so the same remedies remain relevant.

Many verses have become everyday proverbs. People quote phrases like 𑌵𑌾𑌗𑍍𑌭𑍂𑌷𑌣𑌂 𑌭𑍂𑌷𑌣𑌂 (speech as the true ornament), 𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾 𑌨𑌾𑌮 𑌨𑌰𑌸𑍍𑌯 𑌰𑍂𑌪𑌂 𑌅𑌧𑌿𑌕𑌮𑍍 (knowledge as a person's greater beauty), 𑌮𑍂𑌰𑍍𑌖𑌸𑍍𑌯 𑌨𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌯𑍌𑌷𑌧𑌿𑌂 (no medicine for the fool who refuses correction), and 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌰𑌭𑍍𑌯𑌤𑍇 𑌨 𑌖𑌲𑍁 𑌵𑌿𑌘𑍍𑌨𑌭𑌯𑍇𑌨 (great work begins by moving past fear of obstacles). The imagery is vivid and the meter is musical, so the lines stay in memory and come up naturally when life presents the same situations again.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Salutations to the serene radiance - the embodiment of infinite pure consciousness, unbounded by space and time, and realized directly as the single standard through one's own experience.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Before offering worldly counsel, 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 bows to 𑌶𑌾𑌂𑌤𑌿 and 𑌸𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌨𑍁𑌭𑍂𑌤𑌿: calm awareness verified by direct experience, not by the noise of opinion. He invokes 𑌚𑌿𑌨𑍍𑌮𑌾𑌤𑍍𑌰 (pure consciousness) rather than a particular 𑌦𑍇𑌵𑌤𑌾 because 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿 is meant to be universal and non-sectarian - the foundation needed is inner illumination, whichever form of worship one follows. This is similar in spirit to the 𑌗𑌾𑌯𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍀 𑌮𑌂𑌤𑍍𑌰, which turns toward the light of 𑌸𑌵𑌿𑌤𑍃 (the illumining Sun principle) and prays for awakening of understanding - 𑌧𑌿𑌯𑍋 𑌯𑍋 𑌨𑌃 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌚𑍋𑌦𑌯𑌾𑌤𑍍. The Upanishadic vision also points to this formless basis with statements like 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌯𑌂 𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨𑌂 𑌅𑌨𑌂𑌤𑌂 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮 and 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨𑌂 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮; and 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 repeatedly turns the seeker inward, for example in 𑌨𑌿𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌣 𑌷𑌟𑍍𑌕𑌮𑍍: 𑌚𑌿𑌦𑌾𑌨𑌂𑌦𑌰𑍂𑌪𑌃 𑌶𑌿𑌵𑍋𑌽𑌹𑌂 𑌶𑌿𑌵𑍋𑌽𑌹𑌮𑍍. In modern life, this looks like anchoring yourself in clarity before action: pausing before replying to a heated message, checking facts before forwarding a claim, or sleeping on a big purchase - so choices come from steady 𑌤𑍇𑌜𑌸𑍍 (inner light) rather than agitation.

Meaning (𑌪𑌦𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
𑌬𑍋𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌾𑌰𑌃 - the learned (shown in sandhi as 𑌬𑍋𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌾𑌰𑍋)
𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌰 - jealousy/envy
𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌸𑍍𑌤𑌾𑌃 - seized by; afflicted (forming 𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌰-𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌸𑍍𑌤𑌾𑌃)
𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌭𑌵𑌃 - the influential; the powerful

𑌚 - and (forming 𑌚𑌾𑌨𑍍𑌯𑍇 = 𑌚 + 𑌅𑌨𑍍𑌯𑍇)
𑌅𑌨𑍍𑌯𑍇 - others
𑌜𑍀𑌰𑍍𑌣𑌂 - becomes worn out; gets wasted (in verse as 𑌜𑍀𑌰𑍍𑌣𑌮𑌂𑌗𑍇 = 𑌜𑍀𑌰𑍍𑌣𑌂 + 𑌅𑌂𑌗𑍇)
𑌅𑌂𑌗𑍇 - "O dear!" / alas (exclamation)
𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌾𑌷𑌿𑌤𑌂 - good counsel; wise saying

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The learned are often consumed by envy, the powerful are tainted by pride, and others are struck by ignorance; alas, wise counsel gets worn out and goes to waste.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a practical warning about communication: even a true 𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌾𑌷𑌿𑌤 may not land when the listener is dominated by 𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌰, 𑌸𑍍𑌮𑌯, or 𑌅𑌬𑍋𑌧. The 𑌭𑌗𑌵𑌦𑍍 𑌗𑍀𑌤𑌾 values learning done with 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌾 (trustful openness) and without 𑌅𑌸𑍂𑌯𑌾 (fault-finding envy), because only such a mind can receive instruction without twisting it. In daily life you may see this when a colleague rejects feedback because it threatens their status, when leadership dismisses a good idea out of ego, or when family advice is ignored simply because it came from the "wrong" person; the takeaway is to choose the right moment and medium, speak with kindness, and when the mind is not receptive, step back and focus on your own conduct instead of trying to win an argument.

Meaning (𑌪𑌦𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
𑌅𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌃 - an ignorant person; one without knowledge

𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌿𑌦𑌗𑍍𑌧𑌂 - over-confident due to half-knowledge (literally, badly "cooked"/digested)
𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌾 - Brahma, the creator (sandhi in verse: 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌾𑌪𑌿 = 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌾 + 𑌅𑌪𑌿)
𑌅𑌪𑌿 - even

𑌨𑌰𑌂 - person; man

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The ignorant are easy to please, the truly discerning are even easier to please; but a person made arrogant by a mere drop of knowledge cannot be satisfied even by Brahma.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is not praising ignorance; he is pointing out that humility makes a person accessible. A beginner who admits "I do not know" can learn, and a genuine expert has no need to protect an ego - but the half-learned 𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌿𑌦𑌗𑍍𑌧𑌃 turns every exchange into self-defense, so nothing satisfies them. In daily life this shows up when someone reads a few posts and then argues with every specialist, refuses review because it feels like insult, or treats feedback as an attack on identity; the antidote is 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌯 (humility) and 𑌜𑌿𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌸𑌾 (honest inquiry): ask, test, and learn. In the 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 spirit, knowledge that has truly ripened reduces 𑌅𑌹𑌂𑌕𑌾𑌰 (ego) rather than inflating it; when your self-worth is not tied to "being right", you can accept correction quickly and keep growing.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
One may forcibly snatch a jewel from between the teeth of a crocodile, cross an ocean churned by waves, and even carry an enraged serpent on the head as if it were a flower; but one should not try to conciliate the mind of a stubborn fool.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The key word is 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌤𑌿𑌨𑌿𑌵𑌿𑌷𑍍𑌟: this is not about a person who is simply uninformed, but about a mind that has decided it will not budge. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is teaching 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment) in where we invest our persuasion: courage can face danger, but stubbornness cannot be reasoned with. In daily life this looks like not feeding online trolls, not trying to "win" with someone who twists every fact, and not exhausting yourself trying to get approval from a person who withholds it by habit; instead, speak once with clarity and kindness, then place a boundary and move on. A related principle is echoed in the 𑌭𑌗𑌵𑌦𑍍 𑌗𑍀𑌤𑌾: 𑌨 𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿𑌭𑍇𑌦𑌂 𑌜𑌨𑌯𑍇𑌤𑍍 𑌅𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨𑌾𑌂 - do not agitate an unready mind; lead by example and choose a time when receptivity exists.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
With great effort one might squeeze oil out of sand, drink water from a mirage when parched with thirst, or even find a hare's horn somewhere while wandering; but one should not try to conciliate the mind of a stubborn fool.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Here 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 piles up near-impossible tasks - squeezing oil from sand, drinking water from a 𑌮𑍃𑌗𑌤𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣𑌿𑌕𑌾 (a mirage: the illusion of water seen in heat), and finding a hare's horn - to say that pleasing a stubborn fool's mind belongs to the same category. The point is not pessimism; it is 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment): do not pour your best effort into what cannot yield. In daily life this can mean not trying to "convert" someone who has already decided to misunderstand, not repeatedly justifying yourself to a chronically unfair critic, and not arguing with a person who enjoys conflict; communicate once with clarity, then disengage and keep your peace. The Upanishadic contrast of 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑍇𑌯𑌸𑍍 (the immediately tempting) and 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍇𑌯𑌸𑍍 (the truly beneficial) is a helpful lens here: choose actions that actually improve life, not those that endlessly drain you like chasing a mirage.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
He tries to restrain a serpent with tender lotus fibres, to cut a diamond with the tip of a Sirisha flower, and to make an ocean of salt sweet with a drop of honey; likewise, the one who wishes to lead the wicked onto the path of the good using nectar-sweet counsel is attempting the impossible.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is not cynicism; it is a warning against mistaking words for transformation. Some habits are reinforced by pleasure, identity, and environment - so "nectar words" alone do not reform a person who is committed to being 𑌖𑌲𑌾 (malicious). In daily life, this can mean not trying to negotiate with someone who lies as a strategy, not believing you can "fix" an abusive pattern with better arguments, and not repeatedly explaining to a person who enjoys misunderstanding; instead, protect yourself, change the boundary or the system, and seek 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗 (uplifting company) where good counsel can actually take root. When you do choose to advise, do it for the receptive - because even a drop of honey works only where there is not an ocean of salt.

In daily life, this is a reminder to avoid bluffing in meetings, to ask a clean question instead of performing certainty, and to pause before posting a confident opinion on something you have not verified. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 also recognizes a higher, luminous form of silence - 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 praises 𑌦𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌿𑌣𑌾𑌮𑍂𑌰𑍍𑌤𑌿 as teaching through 𑌮𑍌𑌨𑌵𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌖𑍍𑌹𑍍𑌯𑌾 - but the verse is pointing to an earlier step: use silence to stop needless noise, and then use that quiet to actually gain 𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨 (clear knowledge).

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
When I knew a little, I became like an elephant blinded by pride, thinking "I am a knower"; then my mind became arrogant, thinking "I am omniscient". But when I learned something, little by little, from the wise, my pride left like a fever, and I thought, "I am a fool".

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a precise portrait of the learning-curve: early knowledge can intoxicate, while deeper knowledge sobers. The image of 𑌮𑌦 as a 𑌜𑍍𑌵𑌰 is practical - pride is a heat that clouds perception, and real learning cools it down. In daily life, you can use this as a self-check: when you feel the urge to speak with absolute certainty, ask whether you are in the "little knowledge" stage; actively seek a mentor, read primary sources, and invite critique. In 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤, the purpose of 𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨 (knowledge) is to dissolve 𑌅𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾 (ignorance) and its products like 𑌅𑌹𑌂𑌕𑌾𑌰 (ego); when the ego relaxes, the mind becomes teachable, and even correction feels like relief, not injury.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The mind of worms finds delicious what is saliva-soaked, foul-smelling, and repulsive, happily gnawing a fleshless human bone; and a dog, standing by it, is not afraid even on seeing Indra nearby - for a petty creature does not reckon the worthlessness of what it clings to as its possession.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is less about insulting creatures and more about exposing the psychology of taste and attachment: we call something "delicious" or "valuable" largely because we are habituated to it. When standards are low, even a miserable "possession" feels like a kingdom, and it can make a person strangely fearless and arrogant. In daily life this is visible in addictions, in clinging to cheap validation, or in guarding a small position of power while missing bigger responsibilities; the remedy is to raise the inner standard through 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗 (uplifting company), clean habits, and better goals, so the mind learns to prefer what is truly nourishing over what is merely familiar.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
From heaven, the head of Siva came down to the mountain from the head of 𑌪𑌶𑍁𑌪𑌤𑌿; from the lofty mountain it came down to the earth, and from the earth also to the ocean. Thus even this 𑌗𑌂𑌗𑌾, descending step by step, has come lower and lower; likewise, for those who have lost discernment, downfall becomes manyfold.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 is the guardrail of life: once it breaks, the fall accelerates. The verse teaches the "cascade" pattern - first a small slip, then repeated descent 𑌅𑌧𑍋𑌽𑌧𑍋, and then a 𑌶𑌤𑌮𑍁𑌖𑌃 (many-pronged) crash. In daily life this is how integrity erodes: one small lie to save face becomes a habit, one indulgence becomes dependence, one compromised principle becomes a new normal. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 places 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 first for a reason (the discrimination of 𑌨𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌯 (the lasting) and 𑌅𑌨𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌯 (the changing)): when you renew that clarity daily, decisions stop being reactive, and your life does not slide step by step into avoidable suffering.

Water can restrain fire, an umbrella can ward off the sun's heat, a sharp goad can control a rutting elephant, and a stick can manage a cow or a donkey; disease has remedies in medicines, and poison has remedies in mantra-practices. For everything there is a remedy prescribed by 𑌶𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌰 - but for a fool there is no medicine.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 stacks up "problem -> remedy" pairs to make one point: tools work only when the person using them is willing to be corrected. A 𑌮𑍂𑌰𑍍𑌕 here is not simply someone who does not know; it is a mind closed by stubbornness and ego, where even the right 𑌉𑌪𑌦𑍇𑌶 (instruction) cannot enter. In daily life you see this when someone refuses feedback, repeats the same avoidable mistake, and then blames the world - whether at work (ignoring reviews), in health (rejecting basic habits), or in relationships (never listening). 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 also begins with fitness: 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑌵𑌣 (listening), 𑌮𑌨𑌨 (reasoning), and 𑌨𑌿𑌦𑌿𑌧𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌸𑌨 (deep contemplation) can remove 𑌅𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨 (ignorance) only when there is 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌯 (humility) and 𑌮𑍁𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌷𑍁𑌤𑍍𑌵 (desire to be free); without that openness, even the best medicine remains unopened.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
One who lacks literature, music, and the arts is plainly a beast - only without tail and horns. Though he does not even eat grass, he still lives; that is, indeed, a great "good fortune" for the animals.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse uses sharp humor to define what makes a human life human: refinement of mind. 𑌕𑌲𑌾 is not "decoration"; it trains attention, empathy, and sensitivity to nuance - qualities that keep power and intelligence from turning crude. In modern life, a person can be technically skilled yet socially destructive: they speak harshly, cannot listen, and treat relationships like transactions. Regular contact with good books, music, and thoughtful discourse softens the inner edge and widens perspective; it is like adding "human interface" to raw capability. Even a simple habit - reading a few pages daily, learning a song with patience, or engaging in meaningful conversation rather than endless scrolling - can slowly replace animal-like reactivity with 𑌸𑌂𑌸𑍍𑌕𑌾𑌰 (refining impressions).

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Those who have neither learning, nor disciplined effort, nor charity; neither wisdom, nor good conduct, nor virtue, nor 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮 - they are a burden on earth, wandering like beasts in the outward form of human beings.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 lists seven supports of a meaningful life: learn (𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾), train yourself (𑌤𑌪𑌸𑍍), share (𑌦𑌾𑌨), seek understanding (𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨), live decently (𑌶𑍀𑌲), develop virtues (𑌗𑍁𑌣), and stand by 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮. When none of these are present, a person may look human but lives by instinct alone - consuming, competing, and reacting. Modern examples are easy: using intelligence only for manipulation, chasing pleasures while neglecting responsibilities, or never giving back to family and society. 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 often reminds that human birth is precious because it allows inquiry and self-mastery; in 𑌭𑌜 𑌗𑍋𑌵𑌿𑌂𑌦𑌮𑍍 he calls it 𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌲𑌭𑌂 𑌮𑌾𑌨𑍁𑌷𑌂 𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌮 (hard to attain). The verse is a wake-up call: add even one of these pillars sincerely, and the "burden" starts becoming a blessing to those around you.

𑌅𑌪𑌿 - even

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Better to wander with forest-dwellers in mountain strongholds than to have the company of foolish people - even in the palaces of Indra.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is not romanticizing hardship; it is ranking influences. A rough place with honest, simple people can still grow you, while a glamorous place with foolish or toxic company can steadily corrupt your judgment. In modern life this is the choice between status and sanity: taking a job for a flashy brand but living in constant politics, or choosing a quieter role with a healthier team; attending gatherings that pull you into gossip, or spending time with people who speak truth and encourage growth. 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 captures the same principle in 𑌭𑌜 𑌗𑍋𑌵𑌿𑌂𑌦𑌮𑍍: 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑍇 𑌨𑌿𑌸𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑌂 - by good company arises non-attachment; by non-attachment, clarity.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Renowned poets, whose speech is beautiful and refined by 𑌶𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌰 and whose teachings are worthy to be passed to disciples, live in a certain ruler's domain - yet remain poor. That is the folly of that king: even a poet is great even without money, but gems become despised when bad appraisers devalue them.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a verse on leadership and valuation. When a ruler (or any institution) keeps true talent undernourished, the shame is not on the talent but on the judge who failed to recognize worth. 𑌕𑍁𑌪𑌰𑍀𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌕 means a "bad appraiser" - someone who cannot see quality and therefore sets a low price; the verse warns that such blindness makes jewels look cheap in the marketplace. In modern life, this appears when organizations underpay their best teachers, engineers, artists, or caregivers while rewarding loud mediocrity; eventually the culture becomes hollow, and excellence either leaves or stops creating. The practical takeaway is two-sided: if you lead, learn to recognize and support real merit; if you are skilled, choose patrons and environments that can actually value you rather than begging approval from 𑌕𑍁𑌪𑌰𑍀𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌕𑌾𑌃.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Material wealth is zero-sum and fragile; 𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾 is the opposite. The verse highlights three qualities: it cannot be stolen (𑌹𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍁𑌃 𑌨 𑌗𑍋𑌚𑌰𑌃), it increases by sharing (𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌤𑌿𑌪𑌾𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌮𑌾𑌨𑌮𑍍 ... 𑌵𑍃𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿𑌂 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌪𑍍𑌨𑍋𑌤𑌿), and it survives disruptions (𑌕𑌲𑍍𑌪𑌾𑌂𑌤𑍇 even metaphorically "the end of a world"). In modern terms, skills, understanding, and good judgment are assets that layoffs, market shifts, and even relocation cannot fully take away - and teaching others often makes you clearer, not poorer. The 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 tradition values this highest: 𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨 is what removes 𑌅𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨, and the "wealth" it gives is inner freedom; that is why teachers are honored not for possessions but for what they awaken in the student.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Do not look down upon the wise who have realized the highest truth; paltry wealth cannot bind them any more than a straw can. A lotus-fiber thread does not become a restraint for elephants whose temples are dark with fresh rut.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse warns against judging people by their bank balance. 𑌲𑌘𑍁 𑌲𑌕𑍍𑌷𑍍𑌮𑍀𑌃 (small wealth) can tempt or trap those who measure themselves by possessions, but it cannot hold a person who has tasted 𑌪𑌰𑌮𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥 (highest meaning). The elephant image is vivid: 𑌮𑌦 is the powerful energy of a mature elephant in rut; against that strength, a lotus thread is absurd. In modern life, this means: do not assume that someone is insignificant because they live simply, refuse a bribe, or won't flatter for promotion. Some people operate from principles and inner freedom, so "small incentives" do not move them; if you want to work with such people, appeal to purpose and truth, not to glitter. In the 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 spirit, once the mind sees the limitations of external gain, it naturally loosens 𑌪𑌰𑌿𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌹 (grasping), and dignity becomes independent of possessions.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
An angry fate may entirely destroy the swan's joyous roaming in lotus-groves, but it cannot take away the swan's celebrated skill of separating milk from water.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The swan's famed discrimination - 𑌦𑍁𑌗𑍍𑌧-𑌜𑌲-𑌭𑍇𑌦 (the ability to separate milk from water) - is a symbol for 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment): the power to pick what is essential from what is mixed. Circumstances can destroy external "playgrounds" (a job, a position, a comfortable setting), but they cannot touch a cultivated inner faculty. In modern life, this is why building real competence and clarity matters more than building a fragile image: even if projects fail or roles change, your skill in thinking, communicating, and deciding remains. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 often uses the 𑌹𑌂𑌸 as the emblem of the discriminating seeker (𑌪𑌰𑌮𑌹𑌂𑌸): when 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 is alive, you can keep choosing the real over the superficial even while life rearranges the outer scenery.

Armlets do not truly adorn a person, nor bright necklaces, nor the moon's splendor; not bathing, not perfumes, not flowers, and not decorated hair. Speech alone, when refined and well-kept, truly adorns a person. Ornaments constantly wear out; the ornament of speech is the real ornament.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is one of the most widely quoted 𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌾𑌷𑌿𑌤𑌾𑌨𑌿 from 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿's 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍. External polish is temporary; speech shapes your reputation every day. 𑌸𑌂𑌸𑍍𑌕𑍃𑌤𑌾 𑌵𑌾𑌣𑍀 means speech that is accurate, courteous, timely, and not needlessly hurtful - the kind of language that makes people feel safe with you. In modern life, you can see how quickly one careless message, a sarcastic tweet, or a harsh public remark can undo years of work; conversely, steady respectful communication builds trust across teams and families. The verse is also practical: unlike jewelry, speech improves with practice - read well, listen well, and speak with 𑌹𑌿𑌤𑌮𑍍 (benefit) and 𑌮𑌧𑍁𑌰𑌮𑍍 (sweetness) together. When words carry both truth and kindness, they become the most durable "ornament" you can wear.

Knowledge is truly a person's greater beauty and a hidden, well-protected wealth. Knowledge brings enjoyment, brings fame and happiness; knowledge is the teacher of teachers. Knowledge is a friend when travelling in foreign lands; knowledge is the highest divinity. In the courts of kings it is knowledge that is honored, not mere money; one without knowledge is a beast.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a compact manifesto on why learning is never a waste. 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌚𑍍𑌛𑌨𑍍𑌨𑌗𑍁𑌪𑍍𑌤𑌂 𑌧𑌨𑌂 points to inner wealth: what you know and can do cannot be taken away as easily as possessions. 𑌬𑌂𑌧𑍁𑌜𑌨𑌃 is a "supportive relative/friend": when you travel or change environments, your competence and understanding accompany you and help you rebuild. In modern life, this is visible in how a person with real skills can restart after setbacks, adapt to new technology, and earn trust quickly - while someone with only external symbols (title, clothes, money) can feel lost when context changes. And for those who seek deeper freedom, 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 sees 𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾 in its highest sense as 𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌹𑍍𑌮𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨 (knowledge of the Self): the "supreme divinity" because it reveals what is already present as your own 𑌸𑍍𑌵𑌰𑍂𑌪 (true nature).

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
If one has patience, what need is there for armor? If people have anger, what need is there for enemies? If one has knowledge, what need is there for fire? If one has a true friend, what benefit is there in "divine medicines"? If there are wicked people, what need is there for snakes? If there is flawless learning, what need is there for wealth? If there is modesty, what need is there for ornaments? If there is poetic excellence, what need is there for a kingdom?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a reminder that inner qualities outclass external supports. 𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌾𑌂𑌤𑌿 (forbearance) is real armor because it prevents rash retaliation; 𑌕𑍍𑌰𑍋𑌧 (anger) is a self-made enemy that damages you even without opponents. 𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌤𑌿 (understanding) is "fire" in the sense that it burns confusion and lights the way; and a good 𑌸𑍁𑌹𑍃𑌤𑍍 (friend) is medicine because they heal your blind spots with honest care. In modern life, you can buy gadgets, titles, and insurance, but if you lack patience and clarity you will still create unnecessary fires at work and at home; and if you have modesty and skill, you do not need constant external decoration to be respected. The practical application is to invest first in the inner "capital" - calm, learning, friendships, and character - because these protect you in contexts where money and status cannot.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a lesson in contextual intelligence: the same behavior is not wise in every relationship. Compassion without boundaries can become enabling; blunt honesty with the malicious can become self-harm; and the lack of diplomacy with power can become avoidable trouble. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is not endorsing dishonesty as a lifestyle; he is saying that with a 𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌜𑌨 (wicked person) you must protect yourself through caution and strategy, while with the 𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌵𑌤𑍍 (learned) you should be transparent and direct. In modern life, this is the art of adjusting your "settings": warmth at home, professionalism at work, clear boundaries with manipulators, courage when defending what is right, and patience with elders. People who can do this without losing their core values become stabilizers in families, teams, and communities.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
If you want to change a habit or raise a standard, change your environment. 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑌿 is not only about "holy people"; it is any consistent contact that pulls you upward - mentors, friends who live by values, books that challenge you, and communities where truth is normal. In modern life this is why a focused team can transform your work ethic, why a supportive friend group can help you quit an addiction, and why a culture of integrity makes honesty easier. 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 states the causal chain succinctly: 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑍇 𑌨𑌿𑌸𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑌂 - by good company arises non-attachment; by that, clarity deepens.

The verse points to a human way of "defeating" time: create something that outlives you. 𑌯𑌶𑌃 (good fame) here is not shallow popularity; it is the durable remembrance that comes from real contribution. In modern life, this can be writing that helps people, teaching that changes a student's trajectory, building something useful, or living with integrity so your family inherits strength rather than trauma. Physical 𑌜𑌰𑌾 (ageing) and 𑌮𑌰𑌣 (death) are inevitable, but the fear around them softens when you live in a way that leaves meaningful traces. The practical application is simple: invest time in work that has value beyond instant applause, and your life naturally gains a larger horizon.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse lists "life's basics" in an ideal order: family harmony, trustworthy relationships, inner peace, health and appearance, stable resources, and learning. It frames these as the fruit of aligning with 𑌹𑌰𑌿 - meaning, in a broad sense, aligning with what sustains and uplifts. In modern terms, devotion and values work as a compass: when your actions are anchored in 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮 (right order), you naturally make choices that protect mind, relationships, and reputation. Even in 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤, 𑌈𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌰-𑌭𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿 (devotion to the Lord) is valued as a purifier of the mind; a calmer, cleaner mind makes better choices, and those choices ripple outward as the blessings described here.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a concise ethics charter, and it is strikingly pan-traditional: the same themes appear as 𑌯𑌮/𑌨𑌿𑌯𑌮 in 𑌯𑍋𑌗, as 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮 in 𑌸𑍍𑌮𑍃𑌤𑌿, and as preparation for clarity in 𑌵𑍇𑌦𑌾𑌂𑌤. The key phrases are practical: 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌣𑌾𑌘𑌾𑌤 (violence) and 𑌪𑌰𑌧𑌨-𑌹𑌰𑌣 (stealing) are obvious harms; 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌯𑌵𑌾𑌕𑍍𑌯 (truthful speech) keeps life from collapsing into mistrust; and 𑌤𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌰𑍋𑌤𑌃 (the stream of craving) is the inner engine behind many wrong actions. The line about being 𑌮𑍂𑌕 (mute) regarding others' women is a call to stop objectifying talk and gossip - in modern life, that means respecting boundaries, not consuming or spreading degrading content, and keeping speech clean. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 treats such disciplines as 𑌸𑌾𑌧𑌨 (preparation): without 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌯 (humility) and 𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌕𑌂𑌪𑌾 (compassion), higher inquiry stays theoretical; with them, the mind becomes steady enough for real understanding.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a simple model of perseverance: fear stops you at the gate, discouragement stops you mid-way, but commitment carries you through repetition. In modern life, this is the difference between "ideas" and execution: many never start because they imagine every possible failure; some start a course, a fitness plan, or a project but quit after the first setback; and a few keep adjusting and continuing until the thing is done. The practical tool here is to expect 𑌵𑌿𑌘𑍍𑌨 (obstacles) as part of the path, not as proof you chose the wrong path. Even in spiritual practice, 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 emphasizes steady 𑌅𑌭𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌸 (practice): repeated return to the essential is what turns insight into stability.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The good should not beg from the wicked; even a friend should not be asked when they are poor. A righteous livelihood is dear, yet keeping it unstained is difficult even in adverse times. In calamity one must remain elevated, and one should follow the path of the great. Who has prescribed for the good this difficult "razor's-edge vow"?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌅𑌸𑌿𑌧𑌾𑌰𑌾𑌵𑍍𑌰𑌤 is an unforgettable image: a life of integrity feels like walking on a sword-edge because the easy shortcuts are always available. The verse is not saying "never accept help"; it is saying: do not compromise yourself by seeking favors from the wicked, and do not burden a friend who lacks means. It also points out the real test: when times are tight (𑌅𑌶𑍁𑌭𑌂𑌗) and when crisis hits (𑌵𑌿𑌪𑌦𑍍), keeping livelihood clean and standards high becomes hardest. In modern life this shows up as refusing corruption even when you "need it", not manipulating relationships for money, and not lowering your ethics to match a bad environment. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 values this steadiness as 𑌵𑍈𑌰𑌾𑌗𑍍𑌯 (dispassion) and 𑌸𑌮𑌾𑌧𑌾𑌨 (collectedness): without these, the mind is too compromised to see truth clearly.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Even when weakened by hunger, emaciated by age, with breath grown slack, fallen into a hard state, and with radiance diminished - even when life itself is fading - the lion, leader among the noble, longs only for a single mouthful of flesh from the temples of a rutting elephant. Why would he eat stale grass?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The lion here stands for a person of high standards. The verse is not glorifying aggression; it is showing that greatness does not train itself to be satisfied with scraps. Even in hardship, the 𑌮𑌾𑌨 (self-respect) of the great keeps them from degrading choices. In modern life, this is the difference between taking a short-term unethical gain and holding out for clean work; between doing low-quality work "to get it done" and maintaining craftsmanship; between seeking cheap attention and building real competence. The caution is also implied: if you feed your mind stale "grass" long enough, it forgets what it is capable of; so keep aiming for goals worthy of your nature.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A dog, having obtained even a cow's bone that is fleshless and dirty with a little remnant of sinew and fat, feels satisfied - though it does not truly quell its hunger. A lion, even if a jackal has come into its lap, leaves it and strikes an elephant. Everyone, even when fallen into hardship, seeks results according to their nature.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse contrasts two kinds of aspiration. Some minds are trained to be satisfied with "bones" - small, low-quality gains that create the illusion of progress but do not really nourish. Other minds, like the lion, stay oriented to worthy goals even when easier options present themselves. In modern life this is the difference between chasing quick distractions versus building something substantial: taking a tiny shortcut that keeps you stuck, versus doing the harder work that actually changes your situation. The key word is 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌵 (inner nature/quality): whatever you repeatedly consume - media, habits, friendships - slowly reshapes your 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌵, and then your desires follow. If you want lion-like outcomes, feed the mind with lion-like inputs.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
For a morsel-giver a dog performs tail-wagging, lowering of the legs, falling to the ground, and showing its face and belly; but an "elephant-bull" (a great person) stares steadily and then partakes through hundreds of flatteries.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is satire on dependence and flattery. The dog begs visibly through body language; the "great man" begs more subtly through 𑌚𑌾𑌟𑍁 (flattering speech) - but the motive is the same: food and favor. In modern life this appears as sycophancy in workplaces and politics: exaggerated praise to get access, opportunities, or protection. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is nudging us toward self-respect: earn what you can by skill, ask plainly when you must, and avoid turning your dignity into a performance. A good test is simple - if you would feel ashamed reading your own words aloud tomorrow, you are probably selling yourself too cheaply today.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 distinguishes biological birth from meaningful birth. Everyone is "born" in the ordinary sense, but a life becomes significant when it raises the standard of the family - through character, responsibility, and contribution. In modern life, this can mean breaking harmful cycles (addiction, anger, debt), becoming the first to educate yourself, caring for parents with steadiness, or creating a culture of honesty and kindness at home. The verse is also a gentle reminder that legacy is not only about wealth; it is about 𑌸𑌂𑌸𑍍𑌕𑌾𑌰 (refining impressions) passed to the next generation. When your presence makes your family more mature and more compassionate, the lineage has truly "risen".

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Like a bunch of flowers, the course of a high-minded person is twofold: either they are placed on the head of the world, or they wither away in the forest.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse points to a pattern in exceptional lives: they often do not settle for "average." A 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍍𑌵𑌿𑌨𑍍 (high-minded person) either rises to visible influence where many recognize their worth, or they withdraw to solitude and remain uncelebrated - like flowers that either become a garland on someone's head or wither unseen in the woods. In modern life, this can look like an innovator who either finds the right platform and scales impact, or chooses a quiet path of integrity without playing status games. The practical takeaway is not to chase fame, but to choose your environment wisely: a good setting can "place you on the head" by giving your talents the right soil; a poor setting can make the same talent fade unnoticed.

There are other honored ones too - five or six such as BRIhaspati - but this Rahu, with a special appetite for prowess, does not show hostility toward them. He swallows only the two luminaries, the sun and the moon, the lords of day and night. Brother, look on the eclipse day: the demon-chief is a form that is nothing but a head.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse has two layers. First, it explains a mythic fact: 𑌰𑌾𑌹𑍁 is a "head-only" being, seen at 𑌪𑌰𑍍𑌵 (eclipse), and he targets the sun and moon. Second, it points to a social reality: jealousy and rivalry often go toward the brightest. Average achievements do not attract intense opposition, but excellence does - it becomes a visible target. In modern life, if you do important work, expect scrutiny, criticism, and sometimes unfair attacks; do not take that as proof you are wrong, but as proof you are visible. The practical response is to keep your work and conduct clean so that even when "Rahu" bites, only the shadow falls, not your integrity.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
𑌶𑍇𑌷 bears the series of worlds resting on the plates of his hoods; and he is always supported on his back by the lord of tortoises. Even that tortoise the ocean, as if casually, makes dependent on its lap. Alas - boundless are the wondrous powers of the great.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The imagery is cosmic, but the lesson is practical: even the mighty are held within a chain of support. 𑌶𑍇𑌷 supports worlds, yet is supported; the tortoise supports, yet is "held" by the ocean. In modern life, we forget this interdependence and start believing we are self-made; but your strength depends on unseen foundations - family effort, teachers, infrastructure, team members, and even nature itself. The verse gently dissolves arrogance: greatness does not mean "I need nobody"; it means you carry your responsibility well while acknowledging the supports that carry you. That awareness naturally produces 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌯 (humility) and gratitude, which are also forms of strength.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse praises courage and responsibility over escape. 𑌪𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌚𑍍𑌛𑍇𑌦 (wing-cutting) is painful, but it is an open encounter; 𑌸𑌂𑌪𑌾𑌤 (a plunge into hiding/refuge) can look like survival, yet it may also be a flight from duty when elders or foundations are in crisis. In modern life, this appears when someone abandons a hard situation - family responsibility, a failing project, or a commitment - not because it is impossible, but because it is uncomfortable. The verse suggests a higher standard: face the storm honestly, accept loss if needed, but do not save your comfort at the cost of abandoning what you owe. That steadiness is also a form of 𑌧𑍈𑌰𑍍𑌯 (courage), without which neither worldly success nor inner growth becomes stable.

𑌤𑍇𑌜𑌸𑌹𑍍 - of vigor; of brilliance; of valor

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Even a lion, though still a cub, pounces on elephants whose cheek-sides are stained with rut. Such is the nature of the courageous; age is not the true cause of valor.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse breaks a common assumption: that strength is primarily a function of age. 𑌤𑍇𑌜𑌸𑍍 (vigor/valor) arises from inner 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌵 (steadiness and courage), which can appear early when the mind is clear and focused. In modern life, you see this in young people who take responsibility quickly - a student who speaks truth in a difficult room, a young engineer who tackles a hard problem without hiding, or a new leader who refuses unethical shortcuts. The verse is also a reminder to elders: do not dismiss someone just because they are new or young; look for their 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌕𑍃𑌤𑌿 (nature) and train it well. When courage is guided by wisdom, it becomes a lifelong asset.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Let birth and lineage go to the netherworld; let all virtues go even lower there; let character fall from a mountain cliff, shatter, and be burned by fire; let a thunderbolt quickly strike the enemy in the matter of valor - let our one and only aim be wealth, because without that one thing all these "qualities" are as good as a blade of grass.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is intentionally shocking and is best read as biting social commentary. It exposes a harsh truth: when society worships 𑌅𑌰𑍍𑌥 (wealth) above everything, then 𑌜𑌾𑌤𑌿, 𑌗𑍁𑌣, and 𑌶𑍀𑌲 are treated as worthless unless backed by money. In modern life, this appears when a person's respect changes overnight after a promotion or job loss, or when ethics are praised in speech but ignored in hiring and rewards. The verse does not have to be your value system; it is a mirror. The mature response is to acknowledge that money affects practical power, while refusing to let it become your only measure: build competence and financial stability, but keep 𑌶𑍀𑌲 (character) as the foundation so that success does not cost your soul.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse states an uncomfortable worldly reality: without resources, a person is often treated as invisible. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is not asking you to worship money; he is warning you not to ignore the practical role of 𑌅𑌰𑍍𑌥 (means). In modern life, financial stability buys time, health choices, education, and the ability to serve others without desperation; lacking it can trap a person in constant crisis where even good intentions cannot act. The balanced takeaway is: earn ethically, budget wisely, and avoid avoidable dependence - and at the same time, remember that human worth is not money. When you can hold both truths, you protect yourself from poverty without becoming a slave of greed.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse observes how quickly social perception changes with financial status. Nothing essential about the person has changed - 𑌇𑌂𑌦𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌾 (faculties), 𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿 (intellect), and 𑌵𑌚𑌨 (speech) remain - but without 𑌅𑌰𑍍𑌥 the person is treated as "other." In modern life, you see this after a job loss or business failure: the same individual is suddenly ignored, dismissed, or avoided. The verse is a reminder in two directions: first, build resilience so your life is not at the mercy of one external factor; second, do not become the crowd that worships money. 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 goes even deeper: behind all changing roles is the same 𑌆𑌤𑍍𑌮𑌾 - when you remember that, you can respect a person for their being, not for their bank balance.

He who has wealth is considered noble; he is considered learned and wise; he is considered educated and a knower of virtues; he alone is considered an orator and even worthy of regard. All "qualities", it seems, take refuge in gold.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse continues the theme of how society warps its judgments around money. It does not say that wealth truly creates 𑌗𑍁𑌣 (virtue); it says that people often attribute every virtue to the wealthy, even when nothing else has changed. In modern life you can notice this bias in how quickly someone is called "brilliant" after success, and how quickly the same person is dismissed after failure. The practical takeaway is twofold: build financial stability so you are not unnecessarily vulnerable, and also train yourself not to confuse wealth with worth. Respect competence and character directly, not the shine of 𑌕𑌾𑌂𑌚𑌨𑌮𑍍.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A king is ruined by bad counsel; an ascetic by wrong company; a son by pampering. A Brahmin by not studying; a family by a bad son; character by serving the wicked. Modesty by liquor; even agriculture by neglect; affection by living away. Friendship by lack of warmth; prosperity by bad governance; and wealth by careless giving.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a diagnostic verse: it pairs a role with the most common cause of its downfall. The pattern is simple - greatness is not usually destroyed by one dramatic event, but by a small, repeated weakness: a leader who listens to poor advisors, a seeker who keeps the wrong company, a child raised without boundaries, a student who stops learning, a family that tolerates a destructive member, or a person who normalizes 𑌖𑌲𑍋𑌪𑌾𑌸𑌨 (serving/appeasing the wicked). In modern life, the "anavEkShaNa" example is striking: even a good system fails without maintenance. The verse encourages preventive discipline: choose counsel carefully, set boundaries early, keep learning, supervise what you own, and protect relationships with presence and warmth. Many avoidable collapses are simply the result of ignoring these basics.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Wealth has three possible outcomes: giving, enjoyment, and destruction. For the one who neither gives nor enjoys, the third fate - loss - inevitably becomes his.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is practical economics wrapped as ethics. If you have resources, you can either share them (𑌦𑌾𑌨), use them wisely (𑌭𑍋𑌗 as "appropriate enjoyment"), or lose them (𑌨𑌾𑌶) through time, neglect, inflation, disputes, or sudden events. Hoarding without purpose is not safety; it is simply postponing the third outcome. In modern life, this encourages intentionality: budget for giving, budget for necessary and uplifting enjoyment, and invest rather than letting money rot. From a spiritual angle, 𑌦𑌾𑌨 reduces 𑌲𑍋𑌭 (greed) and loosens attachment, which supports inner freedom; but even on a purely worldly level, it is wiser to direct wealth than to be dragged by its decay.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A gem shines when polished on a whetstone; a warrior shines even when wounded after victory in battle; an elephant shines when the rut has dried up; rivers shine in autumn with exposed sandbanks; the moon shines when only a sliver of its phase remains; and a young woman shines when softened after intimacy. Likewise, people whose wealth has slipped away also shine when they become humble seekers.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The common thread is "beauty after reduction." Polishing removes roughness; battle and loss remove complacency; autumn reveals the shape of the river; the waning moon reveals delicacy; and tenderness after intimacy reveals softness. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 applies this to people: when 𑌵𑌿𑌭𑌵 (wealth/power) falls away, the swagger often dissolves and a more human humility appears - and that can be genuinely attractive. In modern life, setbacks sometimes make a person easier to relate to: they listen more, speak less harshly, and value relationships over status. The higher application is to choose that humility without needing the fall: let "polishing" happen through self-reflection and good company, not only through loss.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Someone utterly impoverished longs for a mere handful of barley; later, once full and satisfied, he regards even the whole earth as no more than straw. Therefore, because there is no fixed measure in these matters, the condition of the wealthy makes things appear great or small - it expands them and it also shrinks them.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is about relativity of perception. Hunger makes a handful of barley look like treasure; satiety makes even the world look small. 𑌅𑌨𑍈𑌕𑌾𑌂𑌤𑍍𑌯 means "no single fixed standpoint": value changes with state of mind and circumstance. In modern life this is why people experience lifestyle inflation - yesterday's luxury becomes today's baseline - and why desires keep shifting rather than ending. The practical application is to watch the moving target: before chasing "more", ask whether the craving is about real need or about inner emptiness. When you cultivate contentment and clarity, you stop letting circumstances decide what feels "big" or "small", and you choose deliberately.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
O king, if you wish to milk this earth-cow, then nourish this people-world as you would a calf. When it is properly and continually cared for, the earth yields many fruits like a wish-fulfilling creeper.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a classic teaching on leadership: you cannot extract sustainably without first investing. The metaphor is simple: if the ruler wants revenue and prosperity, the "calf" - the people - must be nourished through protection, fairness, and opportunity. In modern life, the same principle applies to managers and institutions: you cannot demand output while starving the inputs (time, training, psychological safety, and decent compensation). When people are cared for, they naturally create value; the system becomes a 𑌕𑌲𑍍𑌪𑌲𑌤𑌾 (wish-fulfilling creeper) not by magic, but by good conditions. The verse is a reminder that real prosperity is grown, not squeezed.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The policy of kings is many-formed like a courtesan: it can be truthful and false, harsh and sweet-speaking; violent and yet compassionate; greedy for gain and yet generous; always spending, and yet receiving uncertain income.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a realistic description of political life: statecraft often shifts masks depending on need. By comparing it to a 𑌵𑌾𑌰𑌾𑌂𑌗𑌨𑌾 (courtesan), 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 implies skillful performance, but also moral ambiguity. In modern life, this helps you avoid naivety: institutions may speak sweetly while protecting interests, and may be kind in one situation and harsh in another. The practical application is to judge by consistent actions, not by temporary words; and if you hold leadership, to remember that flexibility need not mean deceit. Strong governance can be firm without cruelty and strategic without abandoning 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Authority, reputation, protection of the learned, generosity, rightful enjoyment, and safeguarding of friends - if these six qualities are not present, what use is kingship (or dependence on such kingship) at all?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse defines leadership in responsibilities rather than in privilege. 𑌆𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾 is meaningful only when it creates order; 𑌕𑍀𑌰𑍍𑌤𑌿 comes from trust; protecting the learned means protecting values and long-term wisdom; 𑌦𑌾𑌨 keeps society circulating; 𑌭𑍋𑌗 reminds that resources are meant to be used, not merely hoarded; and 𑌮𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌸𑌂𑌰𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌣 is loyalty to allies and commitments. In modern life, these map well to good management: clear decisions, credibility, protecting expertise, fair rewards, healthy use of budgets, and standing by your people. Without these, authority becomes empty power, and people eventually stop trusting it.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Whatever little or much wealth the dispenser of fate has written on one's own forehead, one obtains it - even in a desert; and even on Meru one does not get more than that. Therefore, be steady about wealth and do not adopt a miserly way of life in vain. Look: whether in a well or even in the ocean, a pot draws only the same measure of water.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse combines fate and restraint. It is saying: within whatever "quota" life brings, excessive anxiety and stinginess do not actually expand the bucket. The pot-and-ocean image is excellent: you can stand before a vast opportunity, but you still draw only what your capacity and preparedness allow. In modern life, this can be read as a warning against both greed and paralysis: work and plan, but do not let fear turn you into a 𑌕𑍃𑌪𑌣 (miser) who cannot enjoy, share, or trust. A calm, generous mind uses resources intelligently; a tight, panicked mind hoards and still feels poor. The verse points toward 𑌧𑍈𑌰𑍍𑌯 (steadiness) and proportion.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The 𑌚𑌾𑌤𑌕 is a symbol of single-pointed dependence: it is said to drink only raindrops from the cloud, not water from the ground. That exclusive trust is both its beauty and its vulnerability. In modern life, the verse can be read in two directions. For the seeker, it suggests focus: if you decide what truly sustains you (values, truth, inner steadiness), do not keep bargaining with lesser sources. For the giver or leader (the "cloud"), it is a reminder not to wait for people to beg: nourish proactively, especially when you already know the need. When help has to be extracted through 𑌕𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌪𑌣𑍍𑌯 (humiliating pleading), something in the relationship is already unhealthy.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse teaches discernment in seeking help. The 𑌚𑌾𑌤𑌕 is famous in poetry for its single-pointed hope in clouds, but 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 adds realism: not every cloud gives rain - some only make noise. In daily life, this is the difference between people who deliver and people who perform: a mentor who actually makes time vs. one who only offers slogans; a leader who acts vs. one who only announces; a friend who shows up vs. one who only sympathizes. The practical takeaway is not cynicism, but 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment): choose where you place your vulnerability, do not beg indiscriminately, and do not train your own tongue into 𑌦𑍀𑌨𑌤𑌾 (self-diminishing speech) in front of those who cannot or will not help.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a checklist for character. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 points out that some behaviors are not occasional mistakes but stable patterns: a lack of empathy, conflict without reason, hunger for what belongs to others, and irritation toward the very people who are good or close. In modern life, this helps you set boundaries early: do not excuse repeated cruelty as "honesty", do not normalize constant drama as "just their style", and do not ignore a person's comfort with exploiting others. The practical application is to evaluate people by recurring tendencies, not by isolated charm; and to protect your time, trust, and relationships from those whose 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌕𑍃𑌤𑌿 repeatedly moves toward harm.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse distinguishes "skill" from "goodness." Knowledge can sharpen the capacity to argue, persuade, and strategize - but if the person is 𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌜𑌨 (wicked), that sharpness becomes more dangerous, not less. In daily life, you may meet a brilliant colleague who undermines others, a charismatic leader who manipulates, or a well-read person who uses words to wound; the "jewel" of talent does not remove the poison of character. The practical takeaway is to prioritize trustworthiness and empathy over mere intelligence when choosing friends, partners, and leaders - and to keep distance from a "decorated snake" even when it shines.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
In a modest person, dullness is counted; in one devoted to vows, hypocrisy; in a pure person, deceit; in a hero, ruthlessness; in a sage, perversity; in one who speaks pleasantly, meanness. In a radiant person, arrogance; in a speaker, talkativeness; in a steady person, inability to speak. Then what virtue of the virtuous is there that is not labeled by the wicked?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse describes the "lens" of a cynical mind. A 𑌦𑍁𑌰𑍍𑌜𑌨 can twist any virtue into a fault: modesty becomes stupidity, discipline becomes pretence, purity becomes deception, courage becomes cruelty, and steadiness becomes silence. In modern life, this appears as chronic negativity - the person who cannot appreciate anything without adding a sneer, who interprets boundaries as "attitude," and humility as "lack of confidence." The practical takeaway is twofold: first, do not base your self-image on such judgments; second, be careful not to become that person yourself. A mind trained in 𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌰 (envy) will always find a way to diminish others; a mind trained in 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment) learns to see the virtue without naive idealization.

And if there is dishonor, what need of death?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse contrasts essentials with accessories. Inner corruption like 𑌲𑍋𑌭 (greed) cancels the value of outward "virtues"; and inner clarity like 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌯𑌮𑍍 (truthfulness) and 𑌶𑍁𑌚𑌿 𑌮𑌨𑌃 (a pure mind) makes many external badges unnecessary. In daily life, this is a reminder to optimize for root causes: fix the habit that is poisoning the system, not the decoration around it. If a workplace culture rewards backbiting (𑌪𑌿𑌶𑍁𑌨𑌤𑌾), training programs won't save it; if a person has honesty and goodwill (𑌸𑍌𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌯), they do not need constant image-management to be respected. The practical application is to invest in the "inside" first - character, clarity, and right intention - because those quietly make many outer supports redundant.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A moon that looks pale in daytime, a beloved whose youth has faded, a lake with no lotuses, a face made illiterate by its own doing, a master devoted only to wealth, a good person always in misfortune, and a wicked person seated in the king's circle - these are seven thorns in my mind.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a verse of "painful sights" - things that feel wrong to the heart because they are reversals of what should be. Some are natural (the moon fades in day), but others reveal avoidable decline: a face becoming 𑌅𑌨𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌰 (unlettered) by one's own choices, the powerful worshiping wealth alone, and the 𑌖𑍍𑌹𑌲 thriving in courts while the 𑌸𑌜𑍍𑌜𑌨 struggles. In modern life, this is the discomfort you feel when incentives are misaligned: when unethical people are rewarded, when learning is neglected, or when relationships are reduced to transactions. The practical application is to correct the "system" you can control: keep learning so you do not become "letterless" by neglect, choose leaders and teams that reward integrity, and do not be shocked that the world sometimes misplaces its honors - instead, quietly build a life where goodness and competence still have a home.

For kings given to fierce anger, no one is truly "their own." Even the priest who offers oblations - when touched, fire carries him away (burns him).

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a warning about unstable power. When a ruler is ruled by 𑌚𑌂𑌡 𑌕𑍋𑌪 (violent anger), relationships become unsafe - even loyal service does not guarantee protection. Fire is the metaphor: it accepts offerings, yet it burns the hand that touches it. In modern life, this applies to any volatile authority: a manager who explodes unpredictably, a patron who humiliates people, or a relationship where anger dominates. The practical takeaway is to reduce exposure: keep communication factual, avoid needless proximity, document work, and do not rely on "closeness" as security. Where anger is the operating system, even the well-intentioned get scorched.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
In service one becomes silent and dumb, or skilled in speech, or a fool, or a chatterer; one stays near with boldness, or stays far with constant timidity. If one endures with patience, one is called fearful; if one does not endure, one is called not well-born. The "duty" of service is extremely hard to navigate - even for yogis it is difficult to master.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is describing the psychological contortions of serving volatile power. Whatever posture you adopt gets misread: silence is taken as incompetence, clarity as insolence, patience as cowardice, refusal to endure as "bad breeding." In modern life, this is the experience of working under a toxic boss or inside a political environment where signals matter more than truth. The practical takeaway is: do not romanticize such settings. If you must serve, serve with clear limits, document decisions, and protect your mind; and if you can choose, prefer environments where speech, competence, and integrity are not punished. In the 𑌮𑌂𑌦𑌾𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌂𑌤𑌾 rhythm (famous from 𑌮𑍇𑌘𑌦𑍂𑌤), the verse itself feels like a long, weary march - matching the fatigue of navigating such service.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
For the low person - whose wickedness is openly displayed and unrestrained, whose earlier base deeds and habits have already spread far, who has obtained wealth by fate, and who hates virtue - happiness is attained only by moving within the spheres that suit him.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a study in "misplaced success." A person can gain 𑌵𑌿𑌭𑌵 (wealth/power) by chance and still remain inwardly crude - and then they seek comfort only among circles that do not challenge that crudeness. In modern life, this is why bad incentives corrode cultures: when a team rewards shortcuts, the 𑌗𑍁𑌣𑌦𑍍𑌵𑌿𑌷𑍍 (hater of virtue) feels at home and the conscientious feel alien. The takeaway is not despair but realism: if you want to grow, choose circles that raise your standards; and if you hold responsibility, do not elevate the openly unrestrained. Otherwise, the environment will slowly reshape itself to fit the lowest preferences.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Friendship, like a day's shadow which differs between the first and second halves, is heavy at the beginning and gradually diminishes (with the wicked), but is light at first and grows later (with the good).

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse distinguishes fast friendship from deep friendship. With a 𑌖𑍍𑌹𑌲, warmth often arrives quickly (because it is transactional) and fades when the transaction changes; with a 𑌸𑌜𑍍𑌜𑌨, closeness may begin slowly (because it is cautious and principled) and grows as trust is earned. In modern life, this is a helpful filter: do not mistake intense early attention for loyalty, and do not dismiss steady, gradual bonds as lack of care. The practical application is to build relationships like long-term assets: consistent presence, reliability, and honesty over time. Like the shadow's changing length, friendship has seasons - but its direction tells you whether it is rooted in convenience or character.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
In this world, deer, fish, and good people - whose way of life is contentment with grass and water - have enemies without any cause: the hunter, the fisherman, and the slanderer.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse points out a hard social fact: gentleness and simplicity can attract predators. The deer does not provoke the hunter; the fish does not provoke the fisherman; and the 𑌸𑌜𑍍𑌜𑌨 often does not provoke the 𑌪𑌿𑌶𑍁𑌨 (slanderer) - yet harm still comes. In modern life, this appears as exploiters targeting the polite, gossipers targeting the sincere, and manipulators targeting the trusting. The practical takeaway is to pair goodness with prudence: keep your values, but also keep boundaries, verify before trusting, and do not underestimate the damage of 𑌪𑌿𑌶𑍁𑌨𑌤𑌾 (backbiting) in teams and families.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse sketches a complete ethical "ecosystem." It begins with choosing good company (𑌸𑌜𑍍𑌜𑌨-𑌸𑌂𑌗), then teaches a healthy attitude: celebrate others' virtues (𑌪𑌰-𑌗𑍁𑌣-𑌪𑍍𑌰𑍀𑌤𑌿) instead of competing with them; remain teachable through 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁-𑌨𑌮𑍍𑌰𑌤𑌾 (humility); and keep growing through 𑌵𑌿𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌾-𑌵𑍍𑌯𑌸𑌨 (love of learning). It also grounds spirituality in self-mastery: devotion to 𑌶𑍂𑌲𑌿𑌨𑍍 (Siva) paired with 𑌆𑌤𑍍𑌮𑌦𑌮𑌨 (self-restraint). In modern life, this reads like a practical checklist: curate your feeds and friends, admire competence rather than envy it, keep mentors close, guard your marriage/commitments, and avoid circles where gossip and "apavAda" thrive. When these habits are stable, your life becomes quieter, cleaner, and more reliable to others.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
This is indeed the natural disposition of the great: courage in adversity, forgiveness in prosperity, eloquence in public assembly, valor in conflict, a taste for good reputation, and a deep pursuit of learning.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a compact map of context-sensitive virtues: the same inner strength shows up as 𑌧𑍈𑌰𑍍𑌯 (fortitude) when life is hard and as 𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌮𑌾 (forgiveness) when you are in a position to "punish". 𑌵𑌾𑌕𑍍𑌪𑌟𑍁𑌤𑌾 is not merely fluency; it is speaking in a way that is true, timely, and constructive in a group setting; and 𑌵𑌿𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌮 is courage applied to real resistance. In modern life, you can use this as a self-checklist: in a setback, do not collapse; in success, do not become vindictive; in meetings, speak clearly without humiliating others; in conflict, do what is right even if it is uncomfortable; and treat reputation as "earned trust" rather than vanity. When 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍁𑌤𑌿 and learning become a 𑌵𑍍𑌯𑌸𑌨 (a steady, almost addictive pursuit), your decisions stop being driven by mood and start being guided by a deeper, more stable understanding.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse explains why true 𑌨𑍀𑌤𑌿 feels demanding: it pushes against the ego's favorite habits - publicity, scorekeeping, and comparison. The good person is asked to do 𑌦𑌾𑌨 (giving) without display, 𑌅𑌤𑌿𑌥𑌿-𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌕𑌾𑌰 (hospitality) without calculation, and gratitude without turning it into self-advertisement. Even more subtle is 𑌅𑌨𑌭𑌿𑌭𑌵𑌗𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌃 𑌪𑌰𑌕𑌥𑌾𑌃: when you speak of others, remove the "smell" of feeling diminished - do not praise with hidden bitterness or criticize to soothe your insecurity. In modern life, this looks like doing help without virtue-signaling, crediting mentors publicly, staying humble when you get a raise, and refusing to participate in gossip that is really envy in disguise. That is why 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 calls it 𑌅𑌸𑌿𑌧𑌾𑌰𑌾𑌵𑍍𑌰𑌤 - it requires constant inner honesty.

𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is redefining "wealth" as qualities that cannot be taken away.

In modern life, this is a practical reminder: your real "portfolio" is your integrity and competence - the habits that make you dependable in both success and setback. When you cultivate these, even simple living becomes dignified; and when these are absent, even 𑌐𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌰𑍍𑌯 (power) looks like a costume that does not fit.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse praises two complementary strengths. In good times, the noble mind becomes 𑌕𑍋𑌮𑌲 (tender) - generous, accessible, and humane; it does not use success as an excuse to become harsh. In hard times, that same mind becomes 𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌕𑌶 (unyielding) toward obstacles - steady in duty, not easily shaken by fear. In modern life, this is the balance of healthy leadership: be kind when you have resources, and be firm when you face crisis. Softness without backbone becomes weakness; backbone without softness becomes cruelty. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is showing the integrated mind that can do both.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a vivid argument for 𑌸𑌂𑌸𑌰𑍍𑌗 (company, environment). The "same water" can vanish, sparkle, or become a jewel depending on where it lands; likewise, the same raw human potential can be wasted, refined, or made luminous by context. In modern life this is why your circles matter: a team that rewards gossip and shortcuts makes you worse without noticing; a community that values learning and service makes you better almost effortlessly. This is exactly why 𑌆𑌦𑌿 𑌶𑌂𑌕𑌰𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯, in the 𑌅𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍈𑌤 teaching sequence of 𑌭𑍍𑌹𑌜 𑌗𑍋𑌵𑌿𑌂𑌦𑌮𑍍, places 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗 first: 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑍇 𑌨𑌿𑌸𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌗𑌤𑍍𑌵𑌂 - from good association comes freedom from compulsive attachments, and the whole inner transformation follows.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
He who gladdens his father through good conduct is a true son; she who seeks only her husband's welfare is a true wife; and that is a true friend who stands with you equally in trouble and in ease. These three are obtained in this world by the meritorious.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse does not romanticize relationships; it defines them by function: respect, welfare, and shared responsibility. A "son" is not merely biological but one whose life and choices bring joy to parents; a "wife/spouse" is one whose love expresses as seeking the other's 𑌹𑌿𑌤 (good); and a "friend" is one who remains present when life is inconvenient, not only when it is fun. In modern life, this becomes a simple audit: do your actions bring peace to your elders, do you actively protect your partner's well-being (health, dignity, growth), and do you show up for friends in both crisis and celebration? The verse calls these rare not to make you fatalistic, but to encourage you to become such a person - and to choose such people carefully.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is one of the popular 𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌾𑌷𑌿𑌤𑌾𑌨𑌿 from the 𑌶𑌤𑌕𑌮𑍍, and it teaches the power of "one-pointedness" in life. 𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is not saying that everyone must literally live with a king or in a cave; he is saying: do not scatter your heart into endless alternatives. Choose an 𑌇𑌷𑍍𑌟𑌦𑍇𑌵𑌤𑌾 (your worship focus) without sectarian hostility - 𑌕𑍇𑌶𑌵𑌃 or 𑌶𑌿𑌵𑌃 both lead to inner growth when worship is sincere. Choose a real friend over a crowd, a stable home over restless wandering, and commitment in marriage over constant comparison. In modern life, this is the antidote to "infinite options": fewer loyalties, deeper practice, less distraction - and therefore more peace.

By humility they rise; by speaking of others' virtues they reveal their own; while accomplishing their own aims, their broadest efforts are for others' good. And by patience alone they put to shame the wicked whose mouths are noisy with harsh, abusive words. Such saints, with their wondrous conduct, are highly honored in the world - who would not revere them?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a portrait of mature goodness that does not need to advertise itself. The saint rises through 𑌨𑌮𑍍𑌰𑌤𑌾 (humility), not through self-promotion; becomes known by praising others, not by attacking them; and converts personal capacity into 𑌪𑌰𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥 (public good). The toughest line is about 𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌾𑌂𑌤𑌿 (forbearance): it does not mean weakness; it means refusing to be pulled into the mud by abusive speech. In modern life, this is leadership without ego - giving credit, building systems, mentoring quietly, and not reacting to every provocation online or at work. When you stop fighting for "being seen", you become more useful; and that usefulness naturally earns respect.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Trees bend down with the abundance of fruits; clouds hang low with fresh water; and good people are not arrogant even in prosperity - this is the natural way of benefactors.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Fullness expresses as humility. A tree with no fruit stands stiff; a tree with fruit bends; a cloud heavy with rain hangs low. Likewise, when someone truly has value - skill, wealth, influence - they become more accessible, not more inflated. In modern life, this looks like a senior person who makes time for juniors, a successful leader who listens more than they speak, or a wealthy family that becomes quieter and more generous instead of more showy. Use the verse as a diagnostic: if prosperity makes you harder to approach, you are moving away from the nature of 𑌪𑌰𑍋𑌪𑌕𑌾𑌰 (helping others).

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
It is learning that adorns the ear, not earrings; giving that adorns the hand, not bracelets; and it is helpful service that makes the compassionate person's very body shine, not sandalwood.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a reminder that the most lasting "decoration" is character. External ornaments can impress for a moment, but 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍁𑌤 (real learning) changes the quality of your speech and decisions; 𑌦𑌾𑌨 (giving) changes the quality of your relationships; and 𑌪𑌰𑍋𑌪𑌕𑌾𑌰 (helpful action) changes the quality of your presence. In modern life, this can be applied very simply: invest in skills and study before spending on status symbols, build the habit of generosity, and be known for reliability and kindness. When virtue becomes your "jewelry", you are respected in every place - even where no one cares about appearance.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The wise say this is the mark of a true friend: they restrain you from harmful paths, guide you toward what is good, conceal your confidences, bring your virtues to light, do not abandon you when trouble comes, and help at the right time.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This definition of friendship is both ethical and practical. A true friend is not only pleasant company; they are a safeguard: they stop you from 𑌪𑌾𑌪 (harmful action), nudge you toward 𑌹𑌿𑌤 (real good), and keep your 𑌗𑍁𑌹𑍍𑌯 (private matters) protected. They also do something generous: they highlight your 𑌗𑍁𑌣 (strengths) in a way that helps you grow, and they show up in 𑌆𑌪𑌤𑍍 (distress) with timely support. In modern life, this means valuing friends who hold you accountable, respect your confidentiality, credit you publicly, and stay present when it costs them something - not just those who entertain you.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The sun makes the lotus-pond bloom; the moon's radiance makes the water-lilies rejoice; even a raincloud gives water only when asked. But good people, of their own accord, are dedicated to the welfare of others.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Nature's forces respond to conditions: the sun and moon act according to their role; the cloud gives when invited. The saint, however, does not wait for an invitation to do good. 𑌵𑌿𑌹𑌿𑌤𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌯𑍋𑌗 means "committed engagement" - a steady readiness to help. In modern life, this is the difference between being reactive and being proactive: noticing someone struggling and offering support without being prompted, sharing useful information without being asked, or stepping in to prevent harm before it escalates. The verse invites you to become that person whose instinct is 𑌪𑌰𑌹𑌿𑌤 (others' good).

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Some noble people bring about others' welfare by giving up their own interest; ordinary people work for others' good without harming their own interests; those "human-demons" destroy others' welfare for their own benefit; but those who destroy others' welfare without any purpose - who are they? We do not know.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 classifies behavior by motive, and the last category is the most frightening: harm that is not even "rational". In modern life you can see all four: selfless mentors who sacrifice time for others; decent colleagues who help when it does not cost them much; exploiters who sabotage others to advance; and finally, people who attack or ridicule simply because they can. The practical lesson is 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment): do not assume everyone plays by the same ethical rules. Encourage the first two, protect yourself from the third, and do not waste your life trying to "understand" the fourth - set boundaries and move away.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Milk had earlier given all its qualities to the water that entered into it. Seeing the milk being heated, that water offered its own self into the fire; and then the fire itself became eager to withdraw on seeing the friend's distress. Fittingly, that very water quenches the fire. Such indeed is the friendship of good people, again and again.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The imagery highlights a very specific kind of friendship: not one based on "what I get", but on "what I can protect". First there is sharing - milk does not keep its qualities to itself; then there is sacrifice - water gives itself up to absorb the heat; and finally there is reciprocity - fire itself withdraws when it recognizes the situation. In modern life, this looks like a friend who quietly shields you during a crisis, or a colleague who takes heat to protect the team, without announcing it later. The verse encourages 𑌮𑍈𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍀 that is brave, discreet, and mutual - not fragile, performative, or transactional.

Here sleeps Kesava; here also is the clan of his enemies; here lie the mountains seeking refuge; and here too is the submarine fire along with the fires of cosmic dissolution. Ah - vast, mighty, and burden-bearing is the ocean's very body!

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The ocean is used as a metaphor for vast capacity: it holds what is sacred (𑌕𑍇𑌶𑌵), what is hostile (the enemies' clan), what is heavy (mountains), and what is dangerous (submarine fire) - all without "spilling". In modern life, this is emotional maturity: being able to carry conflicting responsibilities, criticism, and uncertainty without losing stability. The verse does not ask you to become numb; it asks you to become spacious. When your inner world gains "ocean-like" breadth, you can respond to problems without panic, and you can serve as a refuge to others without being destroyed by their storms.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a complete daily "discipline list" for character. It begins inwardly (𑌤𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣𑌾 as craving, 𑌮𑌦 as ego-intoxication), moves to speech and association (truth and wise company), then to social maturity (respecting elders, reconciling where possible), and finally to compassion and reputation. In modern life, you can treat it as a checklist before sleep: did I feed craving today, or did I cut it? did I react from pride, or choose 𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌮𑌾? did I speak truth kindly? did I spend time with people who elevate my standards? The verse does not promise perfection; it offers a direction - and repeated practice turns direction into habit.

Full of the nectar of merit in mind, speech, and action; delighting the three worlds through continuous acts of help; always making even the tiniest atoms of others' virtues into mountains; blooming in their own hearts - how many such saints are there, O how many?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse identifies a saint by three traits: inner sweetness, outward service, and generous perception. They are "nectar-filled" (𑌪𑍀𑌯𑍂𑌷) because their mind and speech are not poisoned by cynicism; they serve continuously through 𑌉𑌪𑌕𑌾𑌰 (helpful action); and they amplify others' good - they take even a 𑌪𑌰𑌮𑌾𑌣𑍁 (tiny trace) of virtue in someone and make it visible, instead of hunting for faults. In modern life, such people are rare but invaluable: the teacher who encourages, the colleague who builds morale, the elder who blesses, the leader who sees strengths. The verse invites you to become one of them by practicing "magnifying good" as a deliberate habit.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
What use is a golden mountain or a silver mountain, where only ordinary trees reside? We regard Malaya alone as the true mountain, because by resorting to it even ka~gkOla, neem, and other bitter woods become sandalwood.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is another teaching on 𑌸𑌂𑌸𑌰𑍍𑌗 (association). External "value" like gold or silver is not what transforms character; environment does. Malaya is famous for sandalwood, and the poetic point is that even inferior woods become fragrant by proximity. In modern life, this is why mentors, peer groups, and cultures matter more than slogans: if your environment rewards honesty and learning, you start "smelling" like that; if it rewards cynicism and shortcuts, you absorb that too. Choose your Malaya - a place, a community, a discipline - that makes you better simply by staying near it.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse echoes the spirit of 𑌸𑌮𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌰𑌮𑌂𑌥𑌨: even when riches appear, the work is not done; even when danger appears, the purpose is not abandoned; the journey continues until the true goal is reached. 𑌧𑍀𑌰 here means someone whose mind does not break under either temptation or fear. In modern life, this is determination with discrimination: do not get distracted by side-rewards, do not panic when obstacles appear, and do not quit the moment effort becomes uncomfortable. The caution is implicit: choose a worthy 𑌨𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌚𑌿𑌤𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥 (resolved aim) first; then carry it through steadily.

Sometimes sleeping on the bare earth, sometimes on a bed; sometimes eating simple greens, sometimes enjoying rice; sometimes wearing rags, sometimes fine clothes - the resolute person intent on their purpose does not count sorrow and does not count comfort.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse teaches "goal-anchored flexibility." When your mind is fixed on 𑌕𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯 (a worthy task), external ups and downs stop ruling you: you can work with whatever conditions exist. This is not negligence of health; it is refusal to make comfort the dictator of life. In modern life, anyone building something meaningful sees this rhythm: some months are lean and simple, some are abundant; some days are exhausting, some are easy - but the person with 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍍 (inner resolve) keeps moving. The more you practice not overreacting to comfort or discomfort, the more stable your progress becomes.

Indeed, this noble character is the supreme ornament and the cause of everything.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is giving a practical test: what makes each strength safe? Wealth without 𑌸𑍁𑌜𑌨𑌤𑌾 (goodness) becomes arrogance; courage without 𑌵𑌾𑌕𑍍𑌸𑌂𑌯𑌮 becomes bullying; knowledge without 𑌉𑌪𑌶𑌮 becomes agitation; learning without 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌯 becomes vanity. Even power is beautified only by 𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌮𑌾 (forbearance), and public life is protected by 𑌨𑌿𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌾𑌜𑌤𑌾 (impartiality) - not being bought by faction or favor. In modern life, treat these as "guardrails" for success: as you grow in resources, grow in restraint and humility even faster. That is how 𑌶𑍀𑌲 becomes the real ornament that does not fade.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a vow of integrity that is independent of outcome. Praise and blame are social weather; 𑌲𑌕𑍍𑌷𑍍𑌮𑍀 (fortune) is changeable; even life itself is uncertain. But 𑌧𑍀𑌰 means someone who is anchored in 𑌨𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌯 (justice) rather than in applause or fear. In modern life, this is the person who refuses to lie to look competent, refuses to cheat to get ahead, and refuses to abandon principles when money or anxiety enters the room. The verse is not "stubbornness"; it is clarity about what is non-negotiable.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A serpent, whose hopes were broken, whose body was coiled like a basket and whose senses were weakened by hunger, made itself like a rat-hole; and at night a rat fell right into its mouth. Satisfied with that flesh, it quickly went away just like that. People, see! Destiny alone is indeed the cause of rise and fall in human life.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is not telling you to abandon effort; it is humbling you about outcomes. Even when the serpent is starving and seemingly helpless, fortune can drop food into its mouth; and even when you do things "right", results can still surprise you. 𑌦𑍈𑌵 here means the vast network of causes you cannot control. In modern life, this shows up as timing, market cycles, health, and chance meetings. The practical response is balanced: do your best work sincerely, but do not build your identity on results. Gratitude in success and steadiness in loss are both forms of wisdom.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Laziness is indeed a great enemy dwelling within the human body; there is no friend equal to effort. The one who keeps acting does not sink into failure.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 points to the most dangerous opponent because it is invisible and internal: 𑌆𑌲𑌸𑍍𑌯 (inertia) lives inside our routines and excuses. External obstacles can be negotiated, but laziness quietly steals days. The counter-force is 𑌉𑌦𑍍𑌯𑌮 (effort): small, consistent action that keeps momentum alive. In modern life, this can be as simple as a daily non-negotiable: one page read, one message sent, one workout, one honest difficult conversation. When you keep moving, problems shrink; when you stop moving, even small problems feel like mountains.

𑌦𑍁𑌃𑌖𑍇𑌷𑍁 - in sorrows; in difficulties (locative plural of 𑌦𑍁𑌃𑌖)

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Even when cut down, a tree grows again; and even when it wanes, the moon increases again. Reflecting in this way, good people do not despair in times of sorrow.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse offers a simple medicine for despair: remember the rhythm of renewal in nature. Loss is real, but it is not always final; many things regrow, return, or can be rebuilt. In modern life, this is resilience after failure: a project can be restarted, skills can be regained, relationships can be repaired, health can often be restored with patient discipline. The point is not naive optimism; it is refusing to make pain into permanent identity. Like the moon's phases, your difficult season can pass.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Even though Indra had Brihaspati as his leader, the vajra as his weapon, the gods as his army, heaven as his fortress, Hari's favor, and Airavata as his elephant, he was still defeated by enemies in battle. Thus it is clear: fate alone is the refuge - shame on human effort done in vain.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is deliberately extreme to make a point about limits: even the most "stacked" advantages cannot guarantee victory. 𑌦𑍈𑌵 here stands for factors beyond our control - timing, hidden causes, and the unpredictability of the world. In modern life, this is why humility is essential in success and compassion is essential in judgment: you do not fully know what helped you win, and you do not fully know what blocked someone else. The healthy synthesis is: do your 𑌪𑍌𑌰𑍁𑌷 (effort) sincerely, but do not treat outcomes as proof of personal superiority. Accept what you cannot control, and keep your character steady.

The results people obtain depend on their actions, and even the mind's understanding follows action; nevertheless, the wise should act only after careful deliberation.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse balances two truths: action matters, and thinking matters. If you keep acting impulsively, your 𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿 (judgment) starts to "follow" those impulses and justifies them; but if you deliberate well and then act, your mind becomes aligned with wisdom. In modern life, this is why small ethical choices matter: a shortcut today makes the next shortcut easier; a principled choice today strengthens the next principled choice.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
A bald man, whose head was tormented by the sun's rays, sought a shady place; by fate he went under the base of a palm tree. Even there, his head was cracked with a loud sound by a large falling fruit. Often, calamities go exactly where the unfortunate goes.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a sharp way of describing cascading misfortune: when luck is bad, even a reasonable decision seems to backfire. It is also a warning about becoming careless under discomfort: the bald man is desperate for shade, so he stops thinking about what might fall from a tall tree. In modern life, this is how one rushed decision creates another problem - you try to escape one pain quickly and walk into a new one. The practical application is: slow down when stressed, widen your awareness, and choose "shade" that is actually safe. Even if 𑌦𑍈𑌵 is a factor, 𑌵𑌿𑌵𑍇𑌕 (discernment) reduces avoidable harm.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse lists "reversals" to shake our simplistic beliefs: even the bright can be eclipsed, even the strong can be bound, and even the wise can be poor. 𑌵𑌿𑌧𑌿 is not a license for helplessness; it is a reminder to stay humble and compassionate. In modern life, this means not equating wealth with intelligence, not assuming power guarantees safety, and not treating misfortune as moral failure. Do your work with effort, but hold outcomes with humility - that is what the verse trains.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a lament that raw potential is wasted when education and discernment are missing. Even a naturally gifted person becomes fragile if 𑌅𑌪𑌂𑌡𑌿𑌤𑌤𑌾 (lack of learning) rules their choices; one impulsive error can "break" a reputation or a life. In modern life, this is why skill without judgment is dangerous: talent needs training, mentorship, and reflection to become stable virtue. Treat learning not as decoration but as protection - the difference between brilliance that burns out and brilliance that serves.

If rain-streams do not fall into the chataka bird's mouth, what is the cloud to blame? What was written earlier on the forehead by fate - who can erase it?

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse teaches two kinds of maturity: stop blaming the wrong cause, and accept what is beyond you. A karIra tree will not become leafy like a mango by blaming spring; an owl's limitation is not the sun's defect; and the chataka mythology is used to show that even the "right" cloud may not satisfy every desire. In modern life, this means: do not waste emotional energy resenting reality, other people, or the world for constraints that are structural. Work with what you can change, build skill and timing patiently, and accept that some outcomes are not in your hands. That acceptance is not laziness; it is clarity.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
We bow to the gods, yet even they are under the control of inexorable fate. Fate is to be revered, yet it gives fruits only according to fixed karma. If results depend on karma, what use are the gods, and what use is fate? Salutations to those actions, apart from which even fate does not operate.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is a philosophical tightening of the screw: it keeps removing "intermediaries" until responsibility remains. If even gods are constrained by 𑌵𑌿𑌧𑌿, and if 𑌵𑌿𑌧𑌿 itself gives results only through 𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌮, then the most practical focus is: do the right action. In modern life, this discourages both superstition and fatalism: do not outsource your ethics to rituals, and do not outsource your effort to luck. Worship in your tradition if you wish, but let it support 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌾 (right conduct) - because conduct is where your agency lives.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a poetic way of asserting the universality of cause-and-effect. Even the highest cosmic roles are portrayed as moving within laws; no one is "above" the structure of consequence. In modern life, this restores moral seriousness: your actions matter, patterns repeat, and responsibility cannot be escaped by status. It also restores humility: if even gods are shown as moving within order, it is wise for us to align our choices with 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮 and to cultivate patience. 𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌮 here is not merely fate; it is the moral logic of life.

Neither appearance, nor family, nor character, nor even learning or service done with effort necessarily bears fruit; fortunes accumulated through past discipline bear fruit in their own time for a person, just like trees.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
Read this verse as a teaching on timing and long causality, not as a command to stop trying. Many results are delayed; some are rooted in earlier causes we do not see. 𑌪𑍂𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌤𑌪𑌸𑍍 here can be understood as sustained effort and inner discipline accumulated over time - like planting a tree and waiting for the season of fruit. In modern life, this is why consistent practice matters: the work you do today may not show up immediately, but it is stored. Keep building good causes; when time ripens, effects appear.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Whether in a forest or in battle, amid enemies, water, or fire; whether in the great ocean or on a mountain peak; whether asleep, careless, or in a dangerous position - merits earned earlier protect.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is not encouraging recklessness; it is encouraging long-term ethical investment. When you consistently do good - build trust, keep promises, help others, avoid harm - that "stored" merit often shows up as protection: the right person appears, a mistake is forgiven, help arrives at the right time, or you simply have the inner strength to endure. In modern life, you can view 𑌪𑍁𑌣𑍍𑌯 as both spiritual credit and practical goodwill. Build it quietly; it becomes your unseen safety net.

That power which can turn good people into wicked, the learned into fools, and well-wishers into haters; which openly tests by turning nectar into deadly poison in an instant - worship her with due reverence if you wish to enjoy the result you desire. O noble one, do not place vain reliance on even abundant virtues when misfortune can overturn them.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse warns against complacency: character is tested, not merely possessed. Under pressure, people can flip; in one moment what looked like 𑌅𑌮𑍃𑌤 (nectar) can feel like 𑌹𑌾𑌲𑌾𑌹𑌲 (poison). The instruction is not to fear life, but to cultivate humility and consistent discipline - 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌾 as "right conduct" and "proper honoring" of what is sacred and ethical. In modern life, this means not assuming your good habits are unbreakable: protect them with routines, good company, and boundaries, especially during stress. Virtues survive not by pride, but by practice.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Whether doing a task well or poorly, the wise person should carefully consider its consequence. For actions done in reckless haste, the ripened result becomes heart-burning, like a thorn or dart lodged within.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The key warning is against 𑌰𑌭𑌸 (impulsive haste). A rushed email, a quick lie, a sudden purchase, a careless comment, or an unreviewed change can ripen into 𑌵𑌿𑌪𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌿 (misfortune) that burns the heart. 𑌶𑌲𑍍𑌯 means a thorn or dart stuck inside - the pain is not dramatic but persistent, because it keeps pricking you later. In modern life, this verse is an argument for pause: review, ask one more question, wait one day, and act with clarity. The cost of carefulness is small; the cost of rashness is long.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse is an unforgettable picture of misallocation: priceless resources used for trivial ends. In modern life, this looks like using a powerful mind only for gossip, using money only for status, using education only for vanity, or using time only for distraction. The word 𑌕𑌰𑌂𑌭𑍂𑌮𑌿 reminds us that human life is the arena where choices can be made consciously; wasting it is the deepest poverty. The remedy is simple: match resources to purpose - use your best energy for what is truly meaningful, and refuse to spend the rare on the cheap.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse holds two truths in tension: exert the highest effort, and accept that outcomes are not fully yours. It encourages ambition and learning, but it also warns against arrogance and despair. In modern life, this is the healthiest mindset for big goals: do the work as if everything depends on you, and accept results as if something larger is also at play. That balance keeps you energetic without being fragile: you strive, you learn, you attempt the impossible - and you do not collapse if the world says "not now".

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse describes how fortune reshapes the world around you: danger turns into opportunity, strangers turn into allies, and resources appear close at hand. Taken ethically, it is also a reminder not to be arrogant in prosperity: when the world feels "easy", much of that ease may be the ripening of 𑌪𑍂𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌸𑍁𑌕𑍃𑌤 (past good causes) rather than personal genius alone. In modern life, this encourages gratitude and generosity: if life is presently favorable, use that season to build more good causes and to help others who are in a harder season.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This verse is a compact value-system. It shifts definitions away from social status toward inner quality: real "profit" is good company, real "wealth" is knowledge, real "heroism" is self-mastery, and real "rule" is the ability to make decisions that actually take effect. In modern life, this helps you measure success more sanely: choose friends who raise your standards, guard your time (missed opportunities are real loss), invest in learning, and practice 𑌇𑌂𑌦𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌨𑌿𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌹 (sense-discipline) so choices are not hijacked by craving. A life shaped by these definitions becomes steady and dignified, even if it is not flashy.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
The earth is beautified here and there by people who are "poor" in harsh words (i.e., who do not speak unkindly), "rich" in the wealth of pleasant speech, content with their own spouse, and refraining from slandering others.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 names four social virtues that quietly make the world livable. First is speech: being "poor" in 𑌅𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯-𑌵𑌚𑌨 (hurtful words) and "rich" in 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯-𑌵𑌚𑌨 (kind words) means you reduce needless harm. Second is fidelity: contentment with one's own spouse protects families. Third is restraint from 𑌪𑌰𑌿𑌵𑌾𑌦 (backbiting), which protects communities from poison. In modern life, these virtues are still rare and powerful: think before you post, refuse gossip at work, honor commitments, and speak in a way that leaves others stronger. Such people truly "adorn" society.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Even if a person of courageous disposition is humiliated, the quality of courage cannot be wiped away. Even when fire is made to face downward, its flame never goes downward.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
𑌭𑌰𑍍𑌤𑍃𑌹𑌰𑌿 is praising inner character as "directional": it naturally rises. You can insult a courageous person, but you cannot erase their 𑌧𑍈𑌰𑍍𑌯 (fortitude) the way you wipe dust off a surface. The fire-image is simple: even when turned, its nature expresses upward as flame. In modern life, this is what resilience looks like: criticism, setbacks, or temporary humiliation may hurt, but they do not define you unless you internalize them. Hold your principles steady, keep doing the next right thing, and let time reveal the real direction of your character.

The steadfast one whose mind is not wounded by the arrows of the beloved's glances, not burned by the heat of poverty's fire, and not dragged by the ropes of greed tied to countless sense objects - that person conquers this entire threefold world.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is a definition of victory that begins inside. The 𑌧𑍀𑌰 is not defeated by lust (the "arrow" of attraction), not defeated by hunger and hardship (𑌕𑍃𑌪𑌕𑍃𑌶𑌾𑌨𑍁𑌤𑌾𑌪), and not defeated by greed (the 𑌪𑌾𑌶, a noose). In modern life, this is the person who can stay ethical under financial stress, stay steady under emotional temptation, and stay focused amid endless consumer distraction. When you master these three pressures, outer victories become secondary; you have already won the hardest battle.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse reminds you not to underestimate concentrated power. One capable person can change a battlefield; one sun changes the world simply by shining. In modern life, this can be inspiring: one disciplined student, one principled leader, one excellent engineer, or one committed volunteer can lift a whole team. It is also a warning: if one person can cause so much good, one person can also cause large harm; therefore build character with capability.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
For the person in whom a most-beloved character blossoms, fire becomes like water, the ocean becomes like a small canal, Meru becomes like a pebble, the lion becomes like a deer, the serpent becomes like a garland-string, and poison becomes like a rain of nectar.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
This is intentional exaggeration to show the "alchemy" of 𑌶𑍀𑌲 (character). When your conduct is trusted and loved, the world becomes safer: people cooperate instead of attacking, risks shrink, and even "poison" (hostility) can turn into "nectar" (support). In modern life, this looks like reputation built over years: a leader whose team will follow through crisis, a person whose apology is believed, or a family elder whose words calm conflict. You cannot buy this power; you grow it by consistent integrity.

Those who, with perfectly pure hearts, follow their own mother-like source of modesty and the flood of virtues - the radiant ones devoted to the vow of truth - will easily give up even life, but will never break a promise.

Commentary (𑌅𑌨𑍁𑌸𑌂𑌧𑌾𑌨):
The verse places truthfulness above survival. For the 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌯𑌵𑍍𑌰𑌤 person, a promise is not a casual sentence; it is an extension of character. In modern life, this is rare integrity: honoring commitments even when inconvenient, refusing to manipulate language to escape responsibility, and guarding trust as a sacred asset. You need not "die" for truth, but you can live it: keep your word, admit mistakes quickly, and do not offer promises you cannot keep. That is how 𑌲𑌜𑍍𑌜𑌾 (moral restraint) and 𑌗𑍁𑌣 (virtue) become living realities.
