For him, fire becomes water, the ocean dry land, an enemy a friend, gods servants, / a wilderness a city, a mountain a home, a snake a garland, a lion a deer, / the netherworld a small pit, a weapon a lotus petal, an elephant a jackal, poison / nectar, and adversity ease, who speaks speech adorned with truth. // 32 // / Now the section on non-stealing: / Accomplishment desires him, prosperity chooses him, / fame approaches him, the pain of existence leaves him, / a fortunate rebirth longs for him, an evil destiny does not look at him, / and misfortune shuns him—who does not take what is not given. // 33
