The Parable of Foresight, Procrastination, and Presence of Mind
Devanagari script
वशे बलवतां धर्म: सुखं भोगवतामिव । नास्त्यसाध्यं बलवतां सर्व बलवतां शुचि
Translation
যেমন ভোগ-সামগ্রীতে সমৃদ্ধ ব্যক্তির অধীনে সুখভোগ থাকে, তেমনই ধর্ম বলবানদের বশে থাকে। বলবানদের কাছে কিছুই অসাধ্য নয়; বলবানদের সবই শুদ্ধ ও নির্দোষ বলে গণ্য হয়।
