1. 0 Madhab, such is the day which hath come to me. I shall 
but enjoy the fruit of mine own fate, and what fault is that of thine ? 
2. In the city where the sandal tree is not known, there they plant 
the castor tree with honour. He who showeth dishonour through not 
understanding qualities, on him anger is unseemly. 
3. If he who is void of qualities blamed the man who possesses good 
ones, and showed favour^ to a fool,—If all men praise the are 
the virtues of the lotus less on that account ? 
4. If one’s fixed qualities were displayed (not in his presence, but)

man remain in the darkness of a mountain cleft, is the might of the 
sun diminished thereby ? 
6. Describe qualities to one who hath an intelligent mind ; beasts, 
children and the ignorant cannot appreciate them. Saith Handipati, if 
a blind man look in a mirror, what doth he see ?
