प्रकाशार्थगतिर्नूनं रहस्यकुशल: कृती । तज्ज्ैर्न पूज्यसे नूनं तेनासि हरिण: कृश:
Translation
Ắt hẳn đường lối mưu cầu lợi ích và cách hành sự của ngươi ai cũng biết; ngươi lại khéo hiểu những điều kín đáo, là người có trí. Thế nhưng những bậc biết trọng đức vẫn không kính trọng ngươi; bởi vậy ngươi cứ gầy mòn và tái nhợt như con nai.
