जायन्ते पशवः पुत्रा धनं धान्यं वरस्त्रियः । रत्नान्यश्वा गजा भृत्या यानाश्चाशु भवन्त्युत । यस्येदं तिष्ठते गेहे तस्येदं जायते ध्रुवम् ॥
jāyante paśavaḥ putrā dhanaṃ dhānyaṃ varastriyaḥ | ratnāny aśvā gajā bhṛtyā yānāś cāśu bhavanty uta | yasyedaṃ tiṣṭhate gehe tasyedaṃ jāyate dhruvam ||
โคกระบือ บุตร ทรัพย์สิน ธัญญาหาร สตรีอันประเสริฐ แก้วแหวนมณี ม้า ช้าง คนรับใช้ และยานพาหนะย่อมบังเกิดขึ้นโดยเร็วด้วย; ผู้ใดมีสิ่งนี้สถิตอยู่ในเรือนของตน สิ่งเหล่านี้ย่อมบังเกิดแก่ผู้นั้นโดยแน่นอน
