शीतं जयन्तीन्धनदास्तापं चन्दनदायिनः ।
प्राणघ्नीं वेदनां कष्टां ये चानुद्वेगकारिणः ॥
śītaṃ jayantīndhanadās tāpaṃ candanadāyinaḥ / prāṇaghnīṃ vedanāṃ kaṣṭāṃ ye cānudvegakāriṇaḥ
যারা জ্বালানি দান করে তারা শীতকে জয় করে; যারা চন্দন দান করে তারা তাপকে অতিক্রম করে। কিন্তু যারা অন্যকে কষ্ট দেয়, তারা প্রাণঘাতী কঠোর যন্ত্রণা ভোগ করে।
