Daakshinyam swajane dayaa parijane
Daakshinyam swajane dayaa parijane saatyam sadaa durjane
Preethih saadhujanenayo nrupajane chaarjavam,
Sowryam sathrujane kshamaa gurujane kaanthaa jane dhrushtathaa
Ye chaivam purushaah kalaasu kusalaastheshyeva loka sdhithih//18//
Writers impression is that this universe is surviving just because of the good deeds done by knowledgeable people.Good people treat their kith and kin as per their nature and see that others are comfortable in their presence.They show pity and kindness towards their workers.They are strict towards those who are in the wrong and who are wicked.They are affectionate towards good people.They are respectful towards king and follow them.They are docile and obedient towards great and well versed people.They show their valor towards an enemy.They are patient in learning things from a teacher. They are strong and consistent towards women.
persons who are well versed in above attributes and follows the above said behaviour alone are the one who pave the way for a healthy and strong society.

Kshaanthischethkavachena
Kshaanthischethkavachena kim kimaribhih krodhoasthi cheddehinaam
Jnaathischedana lena kim yadi suhruddivyoushadhaih kim phalam,
Kim sarpairyadi durjanaah kimu dhanairvidyaaanavadyaa yadi
Vreedaa chethkimu bhooshanaissukavithaa yadyasthi raajyena kim//17//
If you have patience,there is no need for you to have any armature or shield to protect you.Practically,you have no use for it.If you have anger there is no necessity for out side enemies. Your ill temper is your permanent enemy.If you have cousins fighting for rights or money,there is no need for fire to engulf you. They will destroy you.If you have a good ,well wishing friend,there is no need for any life saving drug. They very thought that there is some one who wishes for your welfare is enough to liven you up from any distress or disease.If there are wicked and vicious people in your life,there is no need for any snakes. They are enough to poison your mind and body.If you have good education and good knowledge,there is no necessity for money. Your knowledge and education would pave the way for your prosperity.If you have a good and nice literary piece of work or poetry, where is the need for any kingdom? It is such atreasure that even a kings treasures pale before it.

Vidyaa naama narasya
Vidyaa naama narasya roopa amdhikam prachchanna guptham dhanam
Vidyaa bhogakaree yasassukhakaree vidyaa guroonaam guruh,
Vidyaa bandhujano videsagamane vidyaa paraadevathaa
Vidyaa raajasu poojyathe nahee dhanam vidyaa viheenah pasuh//16//
Education is a very important aspect in every ones life.An illiterate person is as good as an animal.To a man, education is every thing. It is the body.It is the beauty. It is a treasure.Education gives you access to all the pleasures and fame.Education will teach you every thing like a teacher.In foreign countries,your education is your friend.It helps you like a friend and close relation.Kings praise and recognise only your knowledge gained by proper education.Money and riches are not like that.So,a man who has no education is like an animal.
Keyooraani na bhooshayanthi
Keyooraani na bhooshayanthi purusham haaraana chandrojjwalaa
Na snaanam na vilepanam na kusumam naalankruthaa moordhajaah
Vanyekaa samalankarothi purusham yaa samskruthaa dhaaryathe
Ksheeyanthe akhilabhaashanaani sathatham vaagbhooshanam bhooshanam//15//
Education is the only adornment a man can have and it is the best.To a person, shoulder ornaments,different types of necklaces, chains and ornaments,doing bath with scented water, applying sandal paste,having flowers over him,having stylish hair styles...are nothing .They do not give him a glow or enhance his beauty.one and only thing which enhances ones beauty is his ability to speak correctly and in a polished manner.His knowledge should ooze in his speeches.all the golden ornaments and physical attributes would be lost. The only ornament that is never lost is the ability to speak correctly in a manner that does not hurt or humiliate others,or make the others feel inferior.

It is easy for a king to send a pundit out of his assembly. But he can not deprive him of his knowledge.For example,let us consider the case of swan. Swan has the ability to separate water from milk. Brahma ,when in anger, might ward off the swans from roaming in the lotus ponds.But he can not take away their ability to separate milk and waterand hand it over to other birds.
It is as simple as that.

Parigatha paramaardhaan pandithaan maaavamamsdhaa
Parigatha paramaardhaan pandithaan maaavamamsdhaa
Sthrunamiva laghu lakshmeernaiva thaansamrunaddhi,
Abhinavamada rekhaasyaama gandasdhalaanaam
Na bhavathi bisathanthutvaaranam vaaranaanaam//13//
Hey king!never ever make fun of of ill treat a well versed ,well knowledgeable man.You might be thinking that seeing your riches,power and position,they would tolerate you. But in actual fact,they do not give even a dime for your physical attributes.Do you think it is ever possible to bind a huge elephant which has large tusks and a large mouth with fibres from lotus strands?

Harthuryaathi na gocharam
Harthuryaathi na gocharam kimapi sam pushnaathi yathsarvadaa
Pyardhibhyah prathipaadyamaanamanisam praapnothi vruddhim paraam,
Kalpantheshvapi na prayaathi nidhanam vidyaakhya manthardanam
Yeshaam thaanprathi maanamunghatha nrupaah kasthaissaha spardhathe//12//
Writer is under the impression that compared to rich people,knowledgeable and well versed pundits have the right to be well received and respected by the kings.He has his own reasons for arriving at this decision.No one can snatch treasure of knowledge.Money may harm you at times.It does not always bring you happiness. But knowledge brings you satisfaction and happiness all the time. Money depletes if you donate or give it to others. But this knowledge improves and maximises if you start teaching it to others when they ask for it.It is not destroyed even when the world is destroyed.When compared to this vast treasure of knowledge,the mere treasures of rich are meager. So,kings ,who have normal treasures are much more common and less valuable when compared to knowlegeable people.Kings should respect them because they can not stand against these pundits in knowledge.

Vidvathpadhdhathi...saasthropaskrutha
Saasthropaskrutha sabda sundaragirah sishyapradeyaagamaa
Vikhyaathaah kavayovasanthi vishaye yasya prabhornardhanaah,
Thajjaadyam vasudhaadhipasya sudhiya sthvardham vinaaapeeswaraah
Kuthsyaah syuh kuoareekshakairma manayo yairarghathah paathithaah//11//
Writer is utilising Vidvathpadhdhathi from this poem.If at all,any pandit or well versed person ,who can teach his students beautifully and in a manner that is easy for the students to grasp is experiencing poverty and ill will under any king,it proves that such a king illiterate person. He does not the importance of education and knowledge.It is as if a man who sells quality and costly diamonds for a meager amount does not prove that the diamonds are worthless. It proves the ignorance of the seller in assessing the cost and value of the diamonds.

There is no rule or rhyme in this world to make a fool a reasonable man.If there is flame ,water is used to put out the flames.If it is hot on a sunny day, we have an umbrella for protection.To control an unruly elephant we have a sharp object ,ankusam ,to bring it under control.To gain control over animals like oxen and donkeys ,we can use sticks. By beating them with canes,we can control them.For different diseases,there are various medicines. If any one is poisoned,there are so many manthras to bring out that poison and save the person.So,there is a way out for every thing in this world. But ,there is no escape or remedy to make a fool ,a normal man.

Sirassaarvam swargaathpasupathisirasthah kshithidharam
Maheedhraaduththunga dapanimavaneschaapi jaladhim,

Once down fall starts ,no one can deviate it.You do not even know,where your fate leads you into. To explain this,the writer has taken the example of River Ganga.When Ganga started from heaven,she was proud. She wanted show her power and strength to Lord Shiva.She came down with so much force.She wanted to show off her speed and power. But when she fell on to the head of Shiva he locked her in locks of hair. She had to struggle and plead to be released. Once she was freedfrom his locks,She flew down to Himalayas,from there on to the earth,from earth to the ocean.and finally from from ocean to the underground.
Once you are displaced from a high position, you have to face so many hardships and downfalls in life.

Krimikulachitham laalaaklinnam vigandhi jugupsitham
Krimikulachitham laalaaklinnam vigandhi jugupsitham
Nirupamarasa preethyaa khaada nkharaasdhi niraamisham,

Nahi ganayathi kshudrojanthuh parigraha phalguthaam//8//
Cheap fellows are never ashamed of their actions.For example,let us consider a dog. It eats donkeys bone which has no flesh on it but is full of flies and worms,wet with saliva,releasing bad odor and we feel like vomiting,if we see it.It relishes in eating it. It does not observe even if Lord Indra comes from heaven and stands beside it.It is not ashamed of its act and what it it has acquired.It does not care practically.

We are adamant and proud when we are ignorant.When we acquire knowledge,we become polite and lose our head strong nature.When the writer knew very little,he was reckless and proud like an elephant.He was under the impression,that he knew every thing.But ,later when he learnt from elders and acquired knowledge,he slowly understood the fact that actually he was an ignorant fool and actually knew nothing.The realisation was as if his fever has subsided and had huge relief. He was devoid of arrogance and became calm and composed.

Brahma is a very clever man.He created silence and keeping quiet. Ignorant persons have this weapon given to them by Brahma so that they can cover their ignorance in meetings with intelligent and well versed people.Maintaining silence is an art and an asset to them.
