21.
(Just as) even fresh trees mixed with dry grass are burned by the forest fire, (similarly) on going in the company of the wicked the virtuous man too does not get happiness.
22. Only the two persons namely deaf and blind, are
fortunate and (really) live in the human world. (Because) they do not listen to the words of the wicked and do not see the prosperity of the wicked.
23.
Only the continued co-existence of the sun and the daytime is really extolled. Out of which no separation has been witnessed even by anyone (of them) throughout life.
24.
Unbroken friendship which has been done by both the sun and the day-time shines. The sun is not without day-time (and) the day-time too does not undoubtedly exist in separation from the sun.
25. He who at any time or at any place in misfortune does
not remain indifferent like the painted puppet on the wall, should be made a friend.
