What nurtures the idle and the tireless, like a mother her child? By what do the creatures who live off the earth sustain their life?”

Kiṁsu alasaṁ analasañca, Mātā puttaṁva posati; Kiṁ bhūtā upajīvanti, Ye pāṇā pathavissitā”ti.

“Wisdom is the lamp for the world. Mindfulness in the world is wakeful. Cattle are one’s work colleagues, and the furrow is one’s walk of life.

“Paññā lokasmi pajjoto, sati lokasmi jāgaro; Gāvo kamme sajīvānaṁ, sītassa iriyāpatho.
