A Series of Good Sayings ------------------------

V1 - Like a shadow that always follows a person, prosperity is an eternal companion of him, who is intelligent, accompanied by supporters (friends) and continues to work hard.

V2 - One must help others even at the cost of one’s wealth or life. The merit earned by helping others shall not be earned with even hundreds of sacrifices.

V3 - चिता (funeral pyre) and चिंता (anxiety) are said to be similar, with the difference of a mere dot; in that, चिंता (anxiety) burns the living, while चिता (funeral pyre) burns the dead.

V5 - Even with a single wheel to the chariot, seven horses controlled with a bridle of a snake, an invisible (unsupported) path and a disabled charioteer, the Sun indeed reaches the end of the incessant sky everyday. The success of great people lies in their spirit and not in the equipment.
