सेवन्ते त्वां धनाढ्या मतिमलहतये मामपि श्रोतुकामा |
52. Thou exercisest kingly power over riches, we do the same over words (i.e. ideas or scriptures) in all their senses. Thou art a hero (in battle), while we have never-failing skill in methods of subduing the pride of disputants. lt is the rich who serve thee, while, intent on learning (higher truths, men serve us to have all imperfections of mind destroyed. If thou hast no regard for me, well, O king, I have absolutely none for thee.

वयमिह परितुष्टा वल्कलैस्त्वं दुकूलैः |
53. Here we are satisfied with the bark of trees and thou with rich garment ; (and yet) our contentment is alike, (so) the distinction makes no difference. Poor indeed is he whose desires are boundless. If the mind be contented, who is rich and who poor ?
[One who is satisfied with even what little he possesses is as good as the rich.]
