Be quick and take your share; you have stayed
a long way behind; if you collect worldly
riches, the essential portion will be taken by others.
Others, like you, have been scared away; I cannot
tell how many. Why do not men perceive the
favourable moment but go on carrying their burden
on their heads? Run! make haste, before it is all
spent. What you have tied up in your cloth you
have got for your own. Poor-spirited creature, says
Tuka, cannot you venture one effort? Without that
how will you gain this happiness?
