It destroys proper conduct as a wind destroys a cloud; / it brings modesty to ruin as a serpent ends the life of breathing beings; / it quickly uproots fame as an elephant uproots a white lotus; / like a base man destroying a multitude of favors, pride ruins the three aims of life for mankind. (51)
