A paik knows the happiness of his office,
therefore he has gladly accepted it in exchange for his own life. He faces volleys of
arrows and bullets when they come, though an

enjoys boundless happiness, if he is pure and brave
within and without. Tuka says. He is wise who
sees this to be true; he performs his part and is
happy,
