A man overtaken by passion loses his composure, with eyes and posture showing his inner storm, forgetting reason and restraint.
Like a ripe mango, glanced at again and again with desire, one will enjoy and discard her completely, leaving nothing behind.
When one walks the path of self-control, even enemies become allies. A king wins the world not through envy but humility.
A self-restrained king, well-versed in scriptures, rules justly. Like rivers flowing to the sea, wealth naturally follows such a ruler.
Their wedding chariot carried both the bride and groom, exchanging shy glances, witnessed by heavenly beings in divine delight.
The results of prior karma manifest inevitably; even without effort, destined outcomes unfold, even the improbable.

The lover, tearful and hesitant, asks gently. The bride replies “nothing,” but that word conveys everything in love’s subtlety.
The deceitful matchmaker traps lustful men; like deer ignoring warnings, they fall into false snares despite seeing danger.
