By Means Of Hearing One Understands Dharma,

Moral Excellence Is An Ornament For Personal Beauty; Righteous Conduct, For High Birth; Success For Learning; And Proper Spending For Wealth.

Even A Pandit Comes To Grief By Giving Instruction To A Foolish Disciple, By Maintaining A Wicked Wife, And By Excessive Familiarity With The Miserable.

The Power Of A King Lies In His Mighty Arms; That Of A Brahmana In His Spiritual Knowledge; And That Of A Woman In Her Beauty Youth And Sweet Words.

Beauty Is Spoiled By An Immoral Nature; Noble Birth By Bad Conduct; Learning, Without Being Perfected; And Wealth By Not Being Properly Utilised.

Do Not Reveal What You Have Thought Upon Doing, But By Wise Council Keep It Secret Being Determined To Carry It Into Execution.
