If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?

The hearts of base men burn before the fire of other's fame, and they slander them being themselves unable to rise to such a high position.

Those who are destitute of learning, penance, knowledge, good disposition, virtue and benevolence are brutes wandering the earth in the form of men. They are burdensome to the earth.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

What good is a cow that neither gives milk nor conceives? Similarly, what is the value of the birth of a son if he becomes neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord?

As a calf follows its mother among a thousand cows, so the (good or bad) deeds of a man follow him.
