स्थिरीकृत्यार्थिनामाशां दास्यामीति प्रतिज्ञया ।
विसंवादनरुक्षस्य वचसो नास्ति निष्कृतिः ।।

Having first given a promise, if one prevaricates later and speaks dry words, there is no redemption for such person.

यश्चेमां वसुधां कृत्स्नां प्रशासेदखिलां नृपः ।
तुल्याश्मकाञ्चनो यश्च स कृतार्थो न पार्थिवः ।।

A King might be ruling the whole world but he may not be “fulfilled”. One to whom stone and gold are equal, is really a “fullfilled soul”.

सुखमर्थो भवेद्‌ दातुं सुखं प्राणाः सुखं यशः ।
सुखमन्यद्‌ भवेत्‌ सर्वं दुःखं न्यासस्य रक्षणम्‌ ।।

It is easy to give money or life or fame. Everything else is easy. But it is difficult to guard an entrusted deposit.
