Vyaalam Baalamrinaalatantubhirasau Roddhum Samujjrumbhate|
Chhettum Vajramaneem Shireeshakusumapraantena Sannahyati||
Maadhuryam Madhubindunaa Racayitum Kshaaraambudhereehate|
Netum Vaanchhati Yah Khalaanpathi Sataam Sookhtairsudhaasyandibhih||
A rutted elephant can be calmed by tying it with tender lotus fibers
A hole can be drilled into a diamond with the Shirish flower
The salty ocean can be sweetened by adding but a drop of nectar
But none can drill sense into the Wicked neither by
Sermons nor by nectar-like advice.
