Jñānasāra Meaning : Wilt thou ever be able to get the fruits of the tree of welfare if tbcu goest on disclosing thy meritorious deeds which are, verily, the roots of that tree ), splashed over, by currents of water in the form of self-praise ? (2) (138)
Notes : You have done meritorious deeds. You have a right to reap the good fruit therefrom. But you should see that the waters of self-praise do not spoil them. Self-praise, in other words, reduces the value of the good deeds. (2) [138]

Meaning : The strings of one's own virtues resorted to by others become beneficial (to them ). But if the same are resorted to by one's own self, they drop him into the worldly ocean. (3) [139]
Notes : The strings are usually for saving the others. Let them catch them and save themselves. It comes to this that if some one imbibes your merits, he will be benefited. One's merits are meant for otbres to serve as example. (3) [139]
