सजनः।
The good even though silent, are known by their ex. cellent virtues, do the gems which are eagerly prized (lit held, accepted) by thousands advertise (lit : speak) their qualities?
विहलो जे अवलंबइ आवइ-पडियं च जो समुद्धरइ । सरणागयं च रक्खइ तिसु तेसुलंकिया पुहवी ॥५॥
विह्वलो यमवलम्बते आपत्पतितं च यः समुद्धरति । शरणागतं च रक्षति त्रिभिस्तैरलंकृता पृथिवी॥५॥
The world is adorned with these three : viz : one who extends his helping hand to a person who is over-whelmed with fear, secondly, a person who raises one from the slough of peril and lastly one who protects the man who has sought shelter of him.
अवयार-परेवि परे कुणंति उवयारमुत्तमा नूणं । सुरहेइ चंदणदुमो परसु-मुखं छिजमाणोवि ॥ ६ ॥
अपकारपरेऽपि परे कुर्वन्त्युपकारमुत्तमा नूनम् । सुरभयति चन्दनद्रुमः परशुमुखं छिद्यमानोऽपि ॥ ६॥
The great do surely good even to him who is bent on doing evil to others, a sandal-wood tree imparts its sweet scent even to the blade of an axe in the act of hewing it.
