Not to spite the mighty ones
Safest safeguard to living brings.
To walk unmindful of the great
Shall great troubles ceaseless create.
Heed not and do, if ruin you want
Offence against the mighty great.
The weak who insult men of might
Death with their own hands invite.
Where can they go and thrive where
Pursued by powerful monarch's ire?
One can escape in fire caught
The great who offends escapes not.
If holy mighty sages frown
Stately gifts and stores who can own?
When hill-like sages are held small
The firm on earth lose home and all.
Before the holy sage's rage
Ev'n Indra's empire meets damage.
Even mighty aided men shall quail
If the enraged holy seers will.
OFFEND NOT THE GREAT
