धनहीनं नरं त्यक्त्वा कुलीनमपि चोत्तमम् । गच्छति स्वजनोऽन्यत्र शुष्कं वृक्षमिवांडजाः
dhanahīnaṃ naraṃ tyaktvā kulīnamapi cottamam | gacchati svajano'nyatra śuṣkaṃ vṛkṣamivāṃḍajāḥ
ધનહીન પુરુષને—તે કુલીન અને ઉત્તમ હોય તોય—ત્યજી સ્વજનો અન્યત્ર જાય છે, જેમ સૂકા વૃક્ષને પક્ષીઓ છોડે છે।

Social loyalty is often conditional; recognizing this encourages inward strength and commitment to dharma.
