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.

Sakyovaarayithum jalena
Sakyovaarayithum jalena hutha bhukchathrena sooryaathapo
Naagendro nisithaanka sena samado dandena gourgardabhah,
Vyaadhi rbheshajanangrahaischa vividhairmasthra prayogairvisham
Sarvasyoushadhamasthi saasthravihitham moorkhasya naasthyoushadham//10//
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
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,
Surapathi mapi swaapaarsvasdham vilokya na sankathe
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 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.

Swaayaththamekaantha hitham vidhaathraa
Vinirmitham chaadana majnathaayaah

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.
