145
udakaṃ hi nayanti nettikā usukārā namayanti tejanaṃ /
dāruṃ namayanti tacchakā attānaṃ damayanti subbatā. //
Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; good people fashion themselves.
[145. The same as verse 80. According to Fausböll and Subhûti we ought to render the verses by, 'What man is there found on earth so restrained by shame that he never provokes reproof, as a good horse the whip?' See Childers, s.v. appabodhati.]
