Foreword

If thoughts are controlled by wisdom,
Then liberation is very near.
To destroy the contamination of evil,
Of what use is shaving the head?
If a learned king
Were to summarize these teachings,
In the beginning, the middle, and the end
They would not appear other than elegant.
It is said that when the ocean is no more,
We can cross it even in the middle.
Whether holy men are present or not,
We should not transgress the moral teachings.

Much talking is·the. cause of danger.
Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune.
The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage.
Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.
98
If one has not committed any wicked action,
The gods cannot lay blame.
Can a spring be blocked by heaping
earth on it
When it has not previously gone dry?
He is continually happy
Who has the opportunity of depending
on the excellent, 106
Of consulting the learned,
And of conversing with the good-natured.
