- LEARN FROM(ANIMALS/BIRDS) THESE TWENTY
- Learn one thing from a lion; one from a crane; four from a cock; five from a crow; six from a dog; and three from an ass. (CNS: 6.15).
- The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort. (CNS: 6.16).
- The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability. (CNS: 6.17).
- To wake at the proper time; to take a bold stand and fight; to make a fair division (of property) among relations; and to earn one's own bread by personal exertion are the four excellent things to be learned from a cock. (CNS: 6.18).
- Union in privacy (with one's wife); boldness; storing away useful items; watchfulness; and not easily trusting others; these five things are to be learned from a crow. (CNS: 6.19).
- Contentment with little or nothing to eat although one may have a great appetite; to awaken instantly although one may be in a deep slumber; unflinching devotion to the master; and bravery; these six qualities should be learned from the dog. (CNS: 6.20).
- Although an ass is tired, he continues to carry his burden; he is unmindful of cold and heat; and he is always contented; these three things should be learned from the ass (CNS: 6.21).
- He who shall practice these twenty virtues shall become invincible in all his undertakings. (CNS: 6.22).
