8.21

"Magnificent is the Capable and Benevolent One, / Placing compassionate rescue foremost. / Availing himself of opportunities to respond to needs, / He nurtures with mercy and pity. / The fox's gold and the snake's reward, / The castrated man's body made whole: / Knowing kindness and repaying virtue, / The unseen realm responds thereto. / The rebellious wife poisoned her husband, / Yet Heaven granted a prolonged life; / The predatory beast did not harm, / And in return granted longevity. / Violating kindness and turning against righteousness, / Disasters imperil one's person: / Coveting the incense, he felled the tree; / His liver and blood smeared the spirit."
