Timely Counsel, Association, and Kin-Duty
Devanagari script
अग्नौ प्रास्तं तु पुरुषं कर्मान्वेति स्वयंकृतम् । तस्मात् तु पुरुषो यत्नाद् धर्म संचिनुयाच्छनै:,अग्निमें डाले हुए उस पुरुषके पीछे तो केवल उसका अपना किया हुआ बुरा या भला कर्म ही जाता है। इसलिये पुरुषको चाहिये कि वह धीरे-धीरे प्रयत्नपूर्वक धर्मका ही संग्रह करे
Translation
ผู้ที่ถูกมอบแก่เพลิงนั้น มีเพียงกรรมที่ตนกระทำเอง—ทั้งดีและชั่ว—เท่านั้นที่ติดตามไป ฉะนั้นมนุษย์พึงเพียรพยายามสั่งสมธรรมทีละน้อยโดยไม่หย่อนยาน
