O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.

A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.

Sinfully acquired wealth may remain for ten years; in the eleventh year it disappears with even the original stock.

Women have hunger two-fold, shyness four-fold, daring six-fold, and lust eight-fold as compared to men.

Even a captured enemy is not to be trusted.

One's weakness should not ever be revealed.

At the time of the pralaya (universal destruction) the oceans are to exceed their limits and seek to change, but a saintly man never changes.
