176. Aught of the food and money which is offered to you for 

 your learning ; listen to others and leave off pride. You may take 

 the fruit from the top of a tree, but, if you reach farther, you 

 fall down. 



177. As long as you have not sufficient strength, bear (have 

 patience with) your enemy ; when you are strong enough, do as it 

 seems best to you. Thus it is said in other shastras. 



178. Treat with due respect, and reward always liberally those 

 round about you. It is said, that with sacrifices and offerings we 

 will have all from the gods down to the spirits (or ghosts). 



179. In a becoming manner a prince may tax his subjects with- 

 out oppressing them. A Sa&tru becomes dry, if too much fragrant 

 juice issues from it.
