16. A virtuous prince, though he be at a far distance, from far 

 also does favourably protect his own followers. By the gathering 

 together of big clouds in the atmosphere, the corn of the field more 

 increases. 



17. During life, renown (or a good name) is the cause of joy ; 

 in the other world, happiness is (man's) delight 5 in wealth only, 

 without those two things, a wise man can have no pleasure. 



18. Excellent qualities, though be exonerated, spread and be- 

 come visible everywhere. The blossoms of the nutmeg tree, though 

 grown dry, diffuse on all sides their sweet scent. 



19. A king is great in his dominions ; a virtuous man is respect- 

 ed whithersoever he goes. A flower is beautiful, generally, for a 

 high day. A gem for a head ornament is every where esteemed.
