The man who remains a fool even in advanced age is really a fool, just as the Indra-Varuna fruit does not become sweet no matter how ripe it might become.

Education beats the beauty and the youth.

That man who is without religion and mercy should be rejected. A guru without spiritual knowledge should be rejected. The wife with an offensive face should be given up, and so should relatives who are without affection.

He who gives up shyness in monetary dealings, in acquiring knowledge, in eating and in business, becomes happy.

The learned are envied by the foolish; rich men by the poor; chaste women by adulteresses; and beautiful ladies by ugly ones.

A friend, even if he be the enemy's son , should be protected.

Punishment when awarded with due consideration, makes the people devoted to righteousness and to works productive of wealth and enjoyment.
