O Wise Man! Give Your Wealth Only

He Who Has Wealth Has Friends And Relations; He Alone Survives And Is Respected As A Man.

Wealth, A Friend, A Wife, And A Kingdom May Be Regained; But This Body When Lost May Never Be Acquired Again.

Do Not Pass Between Two Brahmanas, Between A Brahmana And His Sacrificial Fire, Between A Wife And Her Husband, A Master And His Servant, And A Plough And An Ox.

In Trans-border Relations, There Are No Permanent Friends Or Permanent Enemies Or Even Permanent Borders. There Are Only Permanent Interests And Everything Should Be Done To Secure These Interests.

Virtuous Persons And Fruit-laden Trees Bow, But Fools And Dry Sticks Break Because They Do Not Bend.
