A History of Sanskrit Literature c8.63

c8.63

*Who has the power should give unto the needy,*
*Regarding well the course of life hereafter:*
*Fortune, like two chariot wheels revolving,*
*Now to one man comes nigh, now to another.*

*Ploughing the soil, the share produces nurture;*
*He who bestirs his feet performs his journey;*
*A priest who speaks earns more than one who’s silent;*
*A friend who gives is better than the niggard.*
