Translation

Překlad

A brāhmaṇa who is satisfied with whatever is providentially obtained is increasingly enlightened with spiritual power, but the spiritual potency of a dissatisfied brāhmaṇa decreases, as fire diminishes in potency when water is sprinkled upon it.

Brāhmaṇa, který je vždy spokojený se vším, co mu poskytne prozřetelnost, je stále více osvětlován duchovní silou, ale duchovní síla nespokojeného brāhmaṇy slábne, tak jako uhasíná oheň, zalévaný vodou.
