Ex. 4 (Part 1 of 1)

Sace labhetha nipaka.m sahaaya.m,
saddhi.m cara.m saadhuvihaaridhiira.m;
Abhibhuyya sabbaani parissayaani,
careyya tenattamano satiimaa.
If you obtain an intelligent friend,
a constant companion of noble behavior;
Having overcome all obstacles,
you should wander with him delighted and mindful.

No ce labhetha nipaka.m sahaaya.m,
saddhi.m cara.m saadhuvihaaridhiira.m;
Raajaa�va ra.t.tha.m vijita.m pahaaya,
eko care maata.mg�ara~n~ne�va naago.
If you do not obtain an intelligent friend,
a constant companion of noble behavior;
As a king would abandon his conquered kingdom,
you should roam alone as an elephant in the elephant
forest.

(Dhp 23, 328-329)
