The Devas were not content with the precious gems (that emerged from the ocean). They did not take fright at the terrible poison. They did not stop till they obtained ambrosia. Courageous ones do not turn back from the determined goal. 81. Sometimes sleeping on the (bare) earth and sometimes on a couch, sometimes eating only vegetables and sometimes tasting rice, sometimes wearing rags and beautiful clothes at other times : A brave person bent upon (accomplishing) a task does not care for comfort or hardship. 82. Kindness is the ornament of prosperity while silence is that of valour. Restraint is the adornment for wisdom and humility, that for learning. Distribution to the deserving embellishes wealth. Lack of anger is the ornament of penance, forbearance that of a powerful one, and sincerity that of following righteousness. Good character, which is the root cause of all these, is the ornament of all. 83. Experts in policy or ethics may censure or praise (them); The Goddess of wealth may enter (their house) or leave at will; Death may come (to them) today or in a later eon; regardless, wise and courageous people do not swerve from the path of righteousness. 84. The quality of courage of a brave person cannot be erased even when he is perturbed, just as even the flame of a fire that is made to face downwards never flows downwards. 85. He is a courageous man, who conquers the three worlds, whose heart is not wounded by the dart-like glances of beautiful women, who is not consumed by the heat of the fire of anger, and whom the mighty sense-objects do not lure with snares of greed. 86. Even if struck down with blows from a hand, a ball only rebounds. Generally the misfortunes of those of good conduct are temporary. 87. It is good even when this body is shattered amidst rocks, falling upon some uneven ground from the tall peak of a great mountain, or that one’s hand is thrust into the mouth of the king of snakes with a sharp bite, or falling into fire (occurs), as long as loss of character is not acquired. 88. Fire becomes like water, the ocean a creek (instantly), Meru a small rock, the lion (at once) a deer, the snake a garland, and poison a shower of ambrosia, to him in whose person good character, dear to the entire world, manifests. 89. A tree grows even after being cut. The moon, though waned, waxes again. Reflecting thus, good people do not suffer pain when troubled.
