The acts of a wise man are not easily understood. A wise man is never stupefied when afflictions overtake him. Even if he falls away from his position like Gautama in his old age, on account of the direst calamity, he does not allow himself to be stupefied.
प्राज्ञस्य कर्माणि दुरन्वयानि न वै प्राज्ञो मुह्यति मोहकाले। स्तावत् कृच्छ्रामापदं प्राप्य वृद्धः॥
