The wicked burn with jealousy as they hear of othersí welfare, be they his friends,
foes or neutrals: such is their wont. Knowing thus, this humble soul makes loving
entreaties to them with joined palms.

I for my part have made entreaties to them; they too must not fail to do their part.
However fondly you may nurture a brood of crows, can you ever expect ravens to turn
vegetarians? I adore the feet of a saint and a wicked soul, both of whom give pain,
though some difference is said to exist between them. Whereas the former class cause
mortal pain while parting, the latter give agonizing torment during their meeting. Though
born together in the world, they differ in their traits even as the lotus and the leech
(both of which spring from water). The good and the wicked resemble nectar and
wine respectively; the unfathomable ocean in the form of this world is their common
parent.* The good and the wicked gather a rich harvest of good reputation and infamy
by their respective doings. Although the merits of nectar, the moonóthe seat of nectaró
the Ga∆gåóthe river of the celestialsóand a pious soul, on the one hand, and the
demerits of venom, fire, the unholy river Karmanå‹åówhich is said to be full of the
impurities of the Kali ageóand the hunter, on the other, are known to all, only that which
is to a manís taste appears good to him. (1ó5)

* In the Puråƒas we read how both nectar and wine were churned out of the ocean of milk, by the joint
efforts of the gods and the demons.
