That We Should Make the Most of It

English Translation · I.P. 835

THE wife or wealth of another is contamination; he who avoids them is pure. You need not trouble to write prose or poetry; keep your mind under your own control. Bethink you of your own true interests, store up your capital of sin or merit. Tuka says, You need not go to the forest; all the world is the same to him who pervades it.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
