Just as sugarcane grows sweeter node by node, friendship with the virtuous deepens over time—while the reverse holds for the wicked.
Like extracting juice from sugarcane and discarding the husk, the wise absorb dharma and discard the body.
The poets' thoughts, children’s actions, cows’ milk, are like sugar transformations—charming yet natural. Even the gods lack such pleasures.
The blazing sun that scorched all day finally cools, leaving a radiant moon glowing in its ashes—an image of transience.
Magadhas grasp gestures, Kosalas read glances, Kurus understand hints, and southerners speak plainly—regional differences in communication.
A perfect envoy is quick, insightful, well-spoken, and understands the mind through signs and gestures—ideal for diplomacy.
One who knows signs and inner meaning, who is courageous and not arrogant, makes a true scholar and noble warrior.
A true gatekeeper is strong, charming, alert, humble, and wise in subtle expressions—he guards more than the door.
By reading emotions and offering sweet words and service, he won the heart of the beloved—true devotion includes skill.
Though lovers wish to unite like birds at night, the ordained timing of fate cannot be overcome.
