प्राकृत- सुकरत्नमाला ।
यो नैव दुःखं प्राप्तो यो नापि दुःखस्य निग्रहसमर्थः । यो नापि दुःखिते दुःखितस्तं कस्मात्कथ्यते दुःखम् ? ॥ १८२ ॥
Why should one's misery be spoken to a person, who has neither himself experienced misery nor is able to prevent it nor sympathises with the miserable ?
धन्न' धणाण मूलं जाया मूलं सुहाण सयलाणं । विणओ गुणाण मूलं दप्पो मूलं विणासाणं ॥ १८३ ॥
धान्यं धनानां मूलं जाया मूलं सुखानां सकलानाम् । विनयो गुणानां मूलं दर्पो मूलं विनाशानाम् ॥ १८३ ॥
Agriculture ( lit: paddy ) is the source of wealth ; woman ( of high descent ) is the cause of all happiness, modesty is the foundation of all good qualities and vanity is the root of destruction.
