English Translation
Wealth is gained through diligence and skill, not through merely seeking the worthless. Without consistent engagement in right actions and prudent efforts, one will never truly attain respect or worthiness among the noble.
हिंदी अनुवाद
धन श्रम और कौशल से प्राप्त होता है, न कि केवल बेकार चीजों का पीछा करने से। लगातार सही कार्यों और समझदारी के प्रयास में संलग्न रहने के बिना, कोई भी कभी भी महानता या सम्मान को नहीं प्राप्त कर सकता।
